Hi, Use an axis to control your turret.
As far as losing steps to guarantee that it's "locked" goes, all that is necessary is a g93 to tell EMC that now we know where the axis is based on the tool position. G93 changes the coordinates without movement. For example if my Z is a little shallow I will use MDI to g0 Z-.05 then g93 z0 which results in my z being .05 deeper without messing with re zeroing. Also works great for restarting a workpiece after a tool breakage using a known feature's coordinates.
