Currently it seems that Andy is right - you see relative (workpiece) coordinates so simply do "touch off" for Z axis. Ideally for testing purposes you might want to set workpiece and machine coordinates to be the same. You can switch Axis GUI to show either machine or relative coordinates with Shift+3 combination to see, what is the difference between them. In MDI you can also command a movement in machine coordinate system by adding G53 before G0 word. This is one more thing you can use for testing. It looks to me that there are few things for you to learn about all these various coordinate system things, so here is a link for a start: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CoordinateSystems " A fter reading t he above link you offered that answered alot of questions in one short page!! I am not sure which coordinates they are to be honest, but since that page said the default coordinates are G54 on startup then I would think that they are relative. I understand how the coordinate systems are working in LCNC now and alot less confused :) I am going touch off the Z axis to 0 to bring it under the machine limit of 200/-200 in the INI file and see if I can move all 3 joints up and down like it's supposed to move. If this works out then I know the kinematics are working as planned and then I can set up the actual machine coordinates and limits to my actual machine boundaries and go from there. Its been so long since I've last used a CNC machine (home built back in 2005/6 using Mach3) and really did everything in machine coordinates on that since I was only cutting wood objects 1 at a time. I can see how powerful LCNC is now and the possibilities are endless with its G/M Codes. Thank you very much for the help!
