Does this dro allow you to subtract 1/2 the tool width to get you to zero? I think they call that tool offset generally. I saw Abom doing that on you tube with a couple button pushes- really quick.

I've ordered the sets I needed as the guy wasn't very responsive and we didn't have enough orders to get the cost down enough. Sorry guys.
Janger - I believe that this does that but I'm not certain it's exactly the way you expect it to work.. I'm going from memory and I haven't used it much but you can enter the tool diameter in the calculator, divide by 2 and then add or subtract the axis value from the display to get that result. It could very well have the exact function you are thinking of but I havent really messed with it too much. I just ordered the one for my lathe and I'll probably toy with that one more on tool storage as I tend to switch those more often and need something somewhat repeatable. There is for sure a lot of coordinate storage so that might be meant to fill that need..
