Without homing, the soft limits have no way to line up to the actual
machine position.
Hi Jon
Softlimits? I don't
I don't directly use machine coordinates either, they are meaningless
to me as an operator. I, and many others, are only interested in work
coordinates. What the Controller thinks they are is irrelevant to me, as
long as I've told it where the work zero's are that should be
sufficient.

If you don't have a tool loaded you don't get the option to set

I did.
I found that stepconf doesn't create a lathe style tooltable, and if

do try to touch a tool off, it fails with

This is a bug. I entered it on sourceforge. For now, you can use

I googled around a bit but did not find what I was looking for.

Why not use soft limits? They don't hurt! If you command a

Gentlemen,

Now you're talking!
Softlimits are less useful on lathes, Z limits change dependant on where
the tailstock is, and whether you are using collets or a chuck.
Now if you could quickly jog to a position and say 'this is my Z soft
limit position' then soft limits could indeed be very useful on a
Sasa,
I have heard of this happening before. All that is required of the user is
to adjust the voltage control knobs to the neutral or mid-point prior to
cutting. This will keep it from wanting to 'dive'.
My main background is from the router. Every time I put different material

That's great! This has been driving me nuts the last couple of months

I believe this could be implemented fairly easily. Possibly, it could
be hooked up to a variable, allowing for pretty easy setting of the
limit position.
In my opinion the difficulty is that it needs to be per-tool to have
