So I guess I will try using my current pulley and belt 1:1 on the spindle. Tormach 1100 video...

Re: Problem with automatic homing- UPDATE see latest posts
Hi Marty, Thanks for the reply. Sorry for not attaching a report. This morning I started everything back up and had the same issue with drives not moving.
