Important Note on EXOFS
After setting the origin, never make any setting for EXOFS. One of the effects of EXOFS is to shift the origin. It is important to

We recommend leaving EXOFS at the machine coordinates (X0, Y0, Z0) unless you have a particular reason for changing it.
 For more information about EXOFS, refer to the "NC Code Reference Manual."

aligned with a side surface of the workpiece, and set the Z-axis origin at the workpiece's top surface.
