I found that I can disconnect the power cord from where the 3 phase comes in where the power to the cabinet is and plug it directly into my 220v outlet. This has a 5hp motor

GS2 can't do full 5hp, so you are stuck with the converter feeding the VFD and using single phase on the control.
Unless you upgrade the VFD to a single phase compatible VFD. (Not inexpensive but not terrible either)

First post a fresh report, F7 Utility, F7 Create Report then upload it here. Click on Full Editor and Preview. Under the box where you write the post there are two tabs, one options and one attachments. Click on Attachments.

Also, it would be good for you to do a little video. Upload it to YouTube as unlisted and share a YouTube video link here.

Change the G28 return point, under Part Setup -> WCS, back to Z0 X0.

See http://www.cncsnw.com/LatheNotes.htm and scroll to the bottom of the page.

That's what I did. The control is connected to single phase 220V and the motor and VFD are connected to the phase converter. All works great. It' to bad you cant switch from air power for the turret n collet closer to an electric actuator setup. Compressor runs a lot.

Thanks for the tip on how to reset the tool check position.
