For tool length sensing for non-reproducible tool lengths I use this scheme: http://cvs.linuxcnc.org/cvs/emc2/nc_files/tool-length-probe.ngc?rev=1.4 It records the length of the first tool ("reference tool") and considers it 0 tool length offset. Each subsequent tool is measured and the difference between the new tool and the reference tool is set as a TLO with G43.1. G30 (secondary reference point) is used as a quick way to move into position over the tool sensing switch.
