You may not absolutely need to home the machine every time you power it up,but I always do.It gets a bit more necessary if you lave a fixture on the machine and intend to resume cutting the same parts in the same location.From my quick look at the information it looks like the X and Y datums are referenced to the machine home position being those distances from the part datum and you may well be able to re-position them to suit other jobs.Z setting and tool length are topics that need to be approached with great care and a tool length sensor is a wonderful thing to have.My limited understanding of Alphacam suggests that you might need to accurately model the tool and set it in the collet with great care to match the tool library.
