That's a great tip. Worthy of some reputation points.
I've played with the idea of getting 3D taster, but I'm still using a tool height setter and an edge finder. For me its about price. I can get a tool height setter and an edge finder for all 5 mills for around the cost of a 3D taster. I really like the Fisher clicker edge finders. For most jobs they get me close enough to put a part back on the machine after I have taken it off. I keep one in a tool holder on the Tormach and on the Hurco.
