I should think it should inhibit homing, but throw up an advisory as to 
why its locked out if a homing attempt is made. One normally expects the 
homeing to have an unrestricted access to the machines operating 
envelope, but if something is in the way, causing a tool $hattering 
cra$h, there should be some means of preventing the motion until the 
arena has been cleared. I'll leave it to your imagination as to how this 
condition is detected. A supermarket upc scanner maybe?

Me too. I have no such facilities on any of my machines, choseing instead 
the sequence the homing is done in for general crash safety.  Kinda hard 
to break a mill when z is homed at the top of the post, before Y looks 
for its switch at the front of its travel and then parked at the center, 
then X looks for its switch at the left end of its travel. As thats 60 
lbs of bind on the ways, if it hangs the motor making the rapid move 
back to the center of the X travel, its time to wipe the ways clean and 
re-lube them. A one shot system would be nice, and maybe someday it will 
get one. Someday...
