(zero search velocity) as part of the home sequence. If there is already a keyway or feature on the shaft then I am not sure that homing really helps, unless it is a job that was left in overnight. (And in that case I would return to zero before shutting it down). Aligning to an existing keyway or flat is a touch-off process, not homing. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
