I bought the lathe TT-4 for my lathe as well. Spend many hours trying to get it working reliably and finally gave up. Interested to see if you have better luck with it.

normaly i start whit part, touch z and set my z 0 after i select my x take slim cut mesure and set my x XX but no option for TT for x or z.
if i go to offset page and select tool one in x and select mesure x and select TT the TT start and mesure the size is not correct it's supose show 18.965 but it's show 16.65, i mesure with micrometer 18.965 and i put this number in config, i'm confuse,i start where part ou offset ? to have a good tools one.
ps: tt for lathe, good idee to have option to mesure tt probe as part and only touch Z when you load part.

Good Morning,

I have attached a new documentation for setting your Z ref on the lathe using a TT-4 or TT-2 tool touch-off.
Any feedback on our document is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
