In the manual page (F3) enter the tool Z position (e.g 0 if you are
using the paper trick) and press the tool offset button. I personally
don't like using paper. It's easy to make a mistake and damage your
tool/work. I prefer to use a round bar of a known diameter (e.g the
shank of an old tool). Jog down to a height less then the diameter of
your bar then slowly jog up while trying to pass the bar under the tool.
When it passes through you are at the bar diameter. Enter the bar
diameter as the Z offset. This can be very accurate if you are careful.

I've been watching the Tormach Path Pilot videos on tool height and offsets.

Very similar to what is available in MACH.
Is there a graphical interface for AXIS that lets you enter in the tool height values or use the machine to generate them and enter into the appropriate tables?
Thanks
