If they have the same Y coordinate, you can currently do this because
tool offsets have X,Z components (because of lathes).

If not, work is in progress that will give more flexible tool offsets.
I don't know yet whether it will be in the EMC 2.4 series of releases.

If you can't use tool offsets, you could always use fixture offsets,
or even G92, but it wouldn't be quite as nice.
