If you google for  cnc toolsetter, some results of seller may show.
Years ago i made toolsetter myself, both need only a few parts. One larger item with induction switch, not so difficult to do, if some machines are available.The other one, pancake style, optoelectric, is more difficult to do, as the parts must be pretty accurate. It is mainly used now, because of the size and weight.The are no drawings available anymore, so this is just for inspiration, what can be done with little effort.
Then the probing routine is another task, some interface have already probing integrated, or routines are found in this forum.

Your questions are not easy. And there is a great danger that it will end in a mess. And we should answer the questions one after the other. what's your language? What/which routine do we start with?
