"M6 Remap Tool Change: Block Height Issues When Switching G54/G55" was created by sou528
I'm using **manual tool changes with M6 remap** and ER collets (poor repeatability). My issue:
1. Problem
- Block height values seem tied to work offsets (G54/G55)
- Switching offsets (e.g., G54 → G55) makes tool offsets incorrect
- Tool table appears to store work-dependent values
2. Question
How can I:
- Make tool offsets work consistently across all work coordinates?
- Store only pure tool length differences in the tool table?

Since the collets themselves aren't giving me consistent positioning, I started using the bare spindle nose as my reference point instead.
Here's what I'm doing: First I probe the spindle without any collet installed - let's say that comes out to Z-100 in machine coordinates. I set that as my PROBE HT . Then when I install say, tool T1 and probe it, I might get Z-70, which gives me a nice clean Z-30 offset.
