On Fadals you jog to zero on the zero setter and hit the function that stores that number into the TLO for the tool that is in the spindle automatically.
Another thing that annoys me is the the tool offset screen doesn't show the tool diameter, so I have to go around to the side of the machine and figure out what tools I have loaded in the carousel.
Surely there is a better way.
