    the fastest cut i have done for now is 16000mm/min at same time trochoidal and no glitches. yes dean, it cuts that 7 million file without sto and any problem loading from the USB. I stopped it at half as i had another job. Then loaded it again and ir read the whole file and started from the middle without problem. But i will do 3d test when i have time these days.

    As you know i have the 3 axis controller so not 100% sure, but lets say 99.999%

    It homes Z, then X, then Y and i assume then A / when A is chosen not to be rotational/ . So there is posibility how many mm to back off after homing and how many times to home/ 0-5/ . I have it set at 2 times, it goes to Home, then back, then slowly homes again, then moves back what i say.

    -So without homing anything we make sure the gantry is perfectly square/ using straight edge across rails and precision square/
    -then we move the gantry to end of rails / i home at side near me, you choose that from positive.negative homing direction option/
    -as Limit switches Leds are on we see which switch is hit first. So we move and adjust them so that left switch Y is just a tiny bit in front of right switch A.
    -We adjust backoff after homing at something small like 1mm / which is nothing for out of square for 1800mm gantry like mine for example/

    -we hit home,it homes Z, homes X, then goes till end and homes y backs off 1mm and then homes A and squares it backing off 1mm -now that have to be checked if will work and move the 2 axis together, i will know it when i have the 4 axis controller. But even that has a walkaround. We install a button/switch on enclosure. When we hit it it mixes together the step/dir signals of the 2 long axis when homing. So both move till the end as one together. When all is at the end. We switch it off and we home again here. No problem - Each axis will move only 1mm so not a big deal , but all will be automatically square

    As you see that last one will work for sure.

    I square at the moment/ with the 3 axis controller/ home all. No back off. From A servo controll panel move as to turn Led on limit switch off/ as i have previously adjusted then with the square edge so they light and off at exactly same time
