But, automatic homing, even to simple switches is really helpful. It allows you to set the machine limits of travel, then when you load a G-code program, it immediately tells you that the program exceeds some axis at line # so and so. This allows you to reposition the part so it won't run out of travel in the middle of the job. Saved me time and materials a couple times when I had the part too close to the edge.

[Emc-users] Set axis zero without homing
As well as running EMC2 I can us my mill manually. When using the mill manually I use the DRO in EMC2, how do I set each axis to zero without having to home the machine first. I get an error telling me It needs to be homed first. Your help is greatly appreciated, Bruce -- Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite It's a free troubleshooting tool designed for production Get down to code-level detail for bottlenecks, with <2% overhead.
