To all, Just to be clear, my description of homing was for that of a VMC (vertical machining center) like a Haas VF3. This is defined in the Machinery's Handbook.

EMC2 is flexible enough to let you take advantage of the benefits of industrial CNC axis designations and methods, even in home shop machines. Jim
