Fanuc 0-T tool change position

Hey  guys  i have  a  Topper lathe  running  an  old fanuc  o-t control.

It  doesnt  accept  G53, only uses  G28.

Is it  possible to adjust  the  post so my  tool  change  position is U0.0 W-8.O ( X0.  Z-8.0 ), so  it doesnt go all  the  way  home each  time?

I  attempted  to do it  myself and  changed  the  safe home position in the  post, but  it didnt work, just went  to  z-8.0 and then returned to home again.

I  tried  doing  it in the  user defined properties when posting  as  well,  but it  just  posts out a 0.0

 

While im at it,  I'll  throw  one more question in the  loop.

I have a 12" chuck on the lathe,  its oversized for the  machine, so i cant ramp  up from a dead stop.

Ive gotten around this by inputting a small  manual pass  through at the  front of my program  that ramps up slowly to  speed. Not sure  if there is  a different solution, if that something that  can   be  done in  the  post or not.

 

Appreciate  your guys  help  or  input.
