Thanks for the help guys...I got the 4th axis in the mail yesterday and set it up today...changing the 4th axis .hom file to just home out did the trick.

whats the easy way to do this ?

edit the cncm.hom

add in

M26/W or what ever the rotary axis label is.

review the m code section of the operator manual (page 275) so you understand what the m code used in typical home programs do.
