So, I did see that earlier, it CAN be used to zero Work Coords- but ONLY if you use Bottom Datum.  Many times, we use Top Datum.

If you just reassigned WC Z, then LinuxCNC should be able to see lowest-Z is beyond the allowed Machine Coords automatically, but I have doubts it could work- the file may not get reevaluted automatically when WC Z is reassigned between the time Run is pressed and we actually start user G-code.

However, Top Datum, that wouldn't apply at all.  You can't reassign WC Z.

Every time you hit Start, before it starts the spindle or actually runs any line of the user G-code, it jogs over to a tool height sensor (THS) and probes for the installed tool height

If you did this like a homing move, only the tool height sensor sets the Z home position, and the axis soft limits are such that MIN_Z = 0.0, then it would be impossible to cut into the spoil board.
