I bought this switch off of eBay, wired it into my Robodrill and wrote my own macros:
KGS Tool Setter Presetter for FANUC Mitsubishi Siemens Heidenhain Made In Japan | eBay
It was a weekend project and a pretty fantastic learning experience. Check out Tonytn36's Macro sticky, and the Peter Smid Fanuc Macro book.
The switch itself looks to be a copy of a Metrol switch, which you can buy direct from them for about US$1000. I am sure the Metrol is a nicer bit of hardware, but I decided that going into a 2006 Robodrill, the 3x price for the Metrol wouldn't really gain me much. This has proven to be correct- the eBay KSG switch has been 100% reliable, accurate, and a game changing convenience to add to the machine.
You will have to make a mount for it, but hey... you're a machinist.

is this coolantproof?
Can you share your macro? I'd like to do this on my Doosan
Teach me your wiring skills.
Edit looking at it closer actually looks pretty straight forward on the wiring.
