I would think you would always want to invoke G43, supposing you swap the tools around in a changer. The offset should follow the tool, but the tool number doesn't have to. So T1 G43H5 means the tool in position 1 has the offsets from tool table entry 5 My changer only has 8 slots, The only tool I never change the position of is tool 1 (which I use as a reference tool - it has no tool offsets) That particular tool is an SCLCR turning tool that gets used for the majority of turn and face jobs. The rest just get put in wherever convenient. Personally, I'd MUCH rather the code error than automatically add an offset that will definitely damage the tool and machine!
