Yup! Now whole process works and I'm dialing in <0.1mm errors.
Thanks again!

My installation of Qt_dragon looks almost, but not quite like what you have.
I've been experimenting with the probe for a few weeks, and just got the toolsetter working this weekend. This is on a Bridgeport knee mill, so the table can move independent of the spindle.

So far, I've been able to measure the spindle nose to have an offset of -3.4552 from the Z's machine zero. I keep getting turned around when trying to convey that measurement into a useful offset for the probe and other tools.

if using probe basic the spindle zero is always entered as an absolute number so remove the minus sign.

I switched over to VersaProbe, as the marketing material made it seem that toolsetting would be easier.
