You would only need it on Z, simplest way is to restart LCNC with a different config to it would search the other way to find a 3rd switch down toward the tail stock. But I'd think getting that calibrated might turn into a nightmare on elm street. Perhaps I'm missing something that might be done with a gladevcp button to select which set of homing instructions to use from 2 different sets of data in the ini file? Flayling away in the dark here, obvious to a casual observer, so I'll see any replies with interest.
