Quick question on this subject....

I don't have a limit switch on Z yet, I have been just jogging Z to it's highest point and THEN I activate the homing sequence which in LinuxCNC would automatically set Z to Zero (0). Is that the same here for Acorn?

Cheers
Bruce

Yes it will, but don't underestimate the value of the Z homing/limit switch

Thanks Garry

Plans are afoot to get a proxy onto the Z, I need to sort out proper dust collection first and that has to wait until I move into my new house and get my large shed built :)
