What is the proper sequence to set the Work Shift value
this is what I am doing

I touch tool on tool setter ..it sets the tool offsets

then use same tool to skim face of part to get Z0.

this is where I need help how do I figure the value for the work shift for g54. Do I just measure as Z0 as the input number

It a brand new machine and I've been on Mills and now we have a new lathe and have to reacquaint myself with it. I have more or less gotten it going but the tech wont be here to give the refresher qourse for a few days would like to be able to get some things figured out by then

any help is much needed
