The problem now is that if Z is sitting anyplace up to about 4.5" from the spindle, the home switch, sensing the bottom rear gib of the carriage, is closed. So I need to cobble up something in hal that will run x in .1" to make sure its open, and run Z toward the spindle until it runs off the switch, then allow it to go to the normal home sequence.
