Andy; I rejected that idea on the previous lathe because of the tailstock. > I hadn't considered it on this lathe but it might be the answer. I > just have to remember to move the tailstock out of the way. >
I expect to put an estop switch on my tailstock, and home close to the "tailstock end" of the lathe, for those times when the tailstock is locked too close to the headstock. (better to estop on stupidity than destroy something, or loose position, right??) My Unimat CNC homes at the tailstock end, but no tailstock, but for my larger lathe (whenever it comes up in the queue to finish...) it will have the tailstock. Homing the lathe at headstock end seems like it would be courting disaster.
