Homing to sides of workpiece with real tool How? Lathe

Hello

Thanjs again for the great help.
"Touch off" I have not used tool touch recently off as that also makes no sense.

The screen DRO is set for relative. I am not sure what that means and relative to what. I can't find a description in the manual.

I think after the move, it reads 0.000 for Z. I need to re-test it again as I now already forgot the finer details.

"Relative" means G54 etc coordinates. "Machine" or "Absolute" means the actual physical axis position. Or at least it does if you have home sensors and correctly set-up axis limits.
If you can home anywhere then neither necessarily means anything.

Why not take the easy way out and install home switches?
