 +    - The less accurate way is to position the tool at part zero established in HSM Works by jogging the machine to the part zero location and pressing zero 
 +    - An edge finder can be used at the minimum RPM to find the part X and Y zero. The cutting tool can then be replaced in the spindle and re-zeroed using the automatic tool length touch off. Z zero can be established by sliding a paper of known thickness or a thin metal shim along the top of the part and slowly jogging the spindle down until slight resistance is felt on the shim from the tool tip. X and Y axles must then be adjusted by the radius of the edge finder, and Z Zero must be offset by the shim thickness 
 +    - The fastest way to establish part zero is by using the paper or shim on all three axis and offsetting X and Y by the radius of the tool plus shim thickness, and the Z axis by shim thickness.
