Right, but a tools diameter doesn't change, no matter what you do while you insert it. However, it's "felt" length might change if you don't insert it to the same depth each time. Though I could imagine a machine setup where even the tool diameter could be measured: Just first measure the length, then move the tip horizontally against a second switch. If you already measured another tool, you can take the horizontal difference between the two moves to detect the tools radius relative to the first tool.
