    I'm not entirely sure, but I think once you've used M6start to move to your toolchange position, you can then use your tool zero button, then once you're finished and click cycle start again, M6end takes care of moving back to the work area.
    Exactly. This is what I do on my own machine. All you need to do is put a move (in machine coordinates) to the touch plate location into the tool height set macro and the job's a good'un
