Re: Fixed Tool Touch Inconsistency
If I understand your workflow correctly it sounds like Swissi's probeapp might help you. It can deduct pre travel when using a touch probe in conjunction with a tt device.

Re: Displayed Spindle Speed is Incorrect
Franco did a easy to follow video series about the KBSI about a year ago on his PM mill. I recommend watching them if you have not seen them yet.
