The limits were rather ad hoc; the Z values were the defaults that LCNC gave me, from memory. The defaults as loaded initially were all tiny and none of the sample NGC files would run until I tweaked the INIs a bit. The other two axes in this file were changed a bit, but I never seemed to get the changes to the Z axis saved on that (first) version of the 3-axis config.
I'll do as you advise and switch the leads about - I'll need to sort out the rats' nest of cable first, though. Thanks for your advice - I'll get onto it tomorrow morning and see what transpires.
