Recalibrating Z-axis Zero On Tool Change

Would it be possible to have the sled move to a specified starting point/Zero between each tool change to allow you to change the bit and use a depth jig, then proceeding with the next series of cuts? This would in effect be similar to running separate G code files with matching Zero for each tool.

I may have missed it, but what’s wrong with touching off a new zero with each
bit? as you change it?

I believe there is some concern with safety as a mistake in manually coding in the tool change and subsequent zeroing could have dire consequences with an auto restart of the router and/or motors

I don’t see the problem, fusion inserts toolchanges automatically and when groundcontrol pauzes i change the tool, insert my metal ruler push the auto zero button and resume my cut.
A while back, I put a tutorial in the forum wiki on how to make the auto zero thingy, i couldn’t do without it now.

Could you post a link to that? Sounds like something I’d love to try!
