I don't recall my lathe being set up that way. I have a magnetic proximity sensor and the axis encoder index hooked up. I recall homing moves until the prox trips then backs off, slowly moves toward the prox and stops at the the trigger of the prox and index. The prox trigger is only three or four mm wide. That's how I understand it, but I could be wrong. I probably should check. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Command Line: Reinvented for Modern Developers Did the resurgence of CLI tooling catch you by surprise?
