How does that product compare with the sackrete version of hydraulic cement? Not cement at all. It is two epoxies. First you glue little tube fittings to the wall at 1' intervals. Then, you glue up the crack with the hard, grey epoxy, and let it set for a day. Then, you mix up this thin, liquid stuff that turns into a rubbery filler, and inject into the fittings. I did not do a great job of the gluing of the fittings, and had leaks there. I did my best to hold back the leaks and get the stuff into the crack. Comes in a 10 lb yellow tub, dry, and I paid a tenner for a plastic tub of it today. But its too wet to use it now. The whole deal with this LCR, I think, it that it cures into a rubbery material. This allows the cracked wall to flex somewhat with wet-dry cycles without breaking the seal.

Do you have, in your .ini file, a line per axis stating HOME_SEQUENCE = number? The number, starting with 0 determines the order that the axises are homed in. If its missing, I don't think axis gives you anything but the dots to select the axis to be homed when the HOME button is clicked on, or the keyboard HOME key is pressed. When the HOME ALL has been configured correctly, then the keyboard shortcut of Ctrl+HOME keys will do it all. My Z home is fairly close to the chuck on my lathe, so I am in the habit of emptying the toolpost else it can break expen$ive tooling if there is work in the chuck.
