The Z axis is more interesting. Before homing I imagine the tail stock
has to be loosened and moved all the way to the right as far away from the
headstock to ensure finding a home switch.
My lathe uses a position.txt file hack and single-turn absolute resolvers
to avoid needing to home (generally)
But when it needs to home the home sensor is with the saddle all the way to
the right.
If I was doing it again I would have put a "tailstock sensor" in the saddle
as an extra limit switch.

That's a really good idea. One that isn't over ridden with search for home.
Just that extra bit of safety.
+100, I have plumbing running across the bed on the right edge of the
carriage, feeding all the stuff on the apron, and I've crushed it
against the tailstock base several times. One of the additional bits of
gingerbread I need to get done.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
