You guys are all making to much of this setup
This machine is easy to use and does not need any goofy spindle setup if used as i explain below.
Step by step
turn machine on
home all axis
load a program that has Z work offset at top of material
fixture the material
Load a pointed chamfer tool into spindle
set that tool number in PP main screen
move tool over ETS and on the tool offset screen tap button to set tool height
Then move this tool over and use it to touch off the top of the MATERIAL using a piece of paper or other method. then zero the Z work offset
Locate X,Y work offsets on the material as with any program
At this point you are done with all setup! the machine knows where all offsets are and you are ready to run and cut
turn on chiller and hit run
depending on program it will ask for the first tool in program and load it or ask you too
The machine will touch off on the ETS and then runs code and cuts
This process is repeated over and over for all tool in program.
Done and you can remove part
Super simple to do this all day long and no need to do any spindle setup or whatever just repeat what i did above and you can make stuff all day long.
the precision of the Z offset is based on how close you can set it with a tool and paper method.
All other offsets like x,y can be set with the same precision using a e-probe or other edge finder just like a mill.
This will get you going and as I mentioned there are more ways to skin this cat and would take pages to explain.
Bottom line this is by far the most simple CNC tool in my shop to setup and use.
