I have searched and read many, many threads on these subjects and I still have some lingering questions. My machine is a Matsuura RA1 w/ Yasnac MX3 controller (fanuc). I'm just trying to get my head around how the G54 z-axis and the H-offset work together. Here's the thing; I have a tool height block/gauge that I'd like to use for setting all my tool length offsets. If I set all my TLOs using this block, can I just touch off one tool on the work surface to get a z-offset for my G54? I know there are lots of ways to do this but, I'm just trying to get comfortable with one before I explore using others. I don't want this to turn into another debate on presetting away from the machine.
