    For example: G61 or G64
    I would also like to ask about the tool

    You can find anything you want to learn about G-Code on the internet

    First to help with the G-Code, what control are you using , not all G-Codes are supported, some controls use different G-Codes, and format

    T1 - T3 is correct normally used like this if you have a tool changer T1M6

    Work off sets are G54 to G59 Etc depending on the control

    G40 G41 G42 is for cutter compensation this is not used to set tool offsets

    Tool offsets are set in your tool table ? tool offset page in your control
