Holy Cow! All of you had really good replies to my questions about homing. I just love this place. I only hope that I can learn enough someday to give back.
Being a non-cnc user, it never occurred to me that homing a machine gives you things like: The ability for a machine to help prepare a fast moving table for stopping would be important. The ability to find the exact position of your vise/fixture setup after a power down. The option of leaving certain tools like a vise or a fourth axis always bolted down, ready for use because the machine knows exactly where they're at. Very cool ideas. I will plan on some kind of homing feature for my retrofit. Thanks gentlemen! David ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
