I was just wondering, last night I was working on a project that required a tool change. After I set the bit to center I used the tool length sensor, all is good it cut as expected. It then went and picked up the 2nd end mill.
Problem was that it was not exactly the same height as the first tool, meaning it didn't even touch the top of the work piece.
I ended up creating a tool path for that end mill so I could use the tool length sensor again.
Is there a better Way?
Thanks

Yes there is an other way,

first witch program do you use for controlling your CNC Winpc or Uccnc.
Second after every toolchange you have to use the length sensor.
If you use Winpc I can send you some screenpics of how to.

I was afraid that was gonna be the case. There is a YouTube video of Greg from Stepcraft using a macro to set the height for all of the tools. But he is doing it from the base plate. It seems logical if I did the same thing but from the top of my material.
Btw I'm using UCCNC.

Thanks
