Excellent. G28 was what I was looking for. At least that allows me to
remeasure the z offsets for the lathe tools pretty quickly - z travel into a
touch plate.
Any suggestions on how to do this with the x axis? Currently, I mount some
stock and
. Then I use the Axis
touch-off command to set the tool offset.

For the specific purpose of measured tool lengths, use G43.1 I- K-
dynamic tool compensation instead of coordinate system offsets.

In v2.4 the gcode will be incompatibly changed because tool length
offsets can apply to all axes,

I found a clunky way to do it by using G92 X0 Z0 then reading the
offsets stored in #5211 and #5213.

I'm trying to write a couple of Gcode programs to automate my tool zeroing
on my lathe. I'm planning on having two scripts - one to initialise zero
relative to my tool #0 (everything will be relative to tool #0), and the
second one will be to zero each tool after that (and update the tool table).
