Gentlemen, I always set up my machines with the home position at the - X positive limit (or close) Y positive limit (or close) Z positive limit (or close).
This gives me all negative values in the work piece offset registers. Z up is the most important to me. If I tell it to go home (G91G28Z0) I want the tool to be as far up as possible. This way the tool should never plunge into the table or work piece. I have a tendency to use the X positive side of the solid vice jaw as X zero also. On occasion I will use the X negative side of the solid vice jaw but not often. This gives me all negative values (or nearly so) in the program. This gives almost all negative values for X and Y and make it (for me) easier to read the program. The machine doesn't care which way the program looks. thanks Stuart -- Addressee is the intended audience.
