Difficult fix, though - jog the Z down a millimetre or so first. Repeatability seems to be spot on, at least for my woodworking purposes. Must be our cold northern climate that means they work better here?
    Neale You should be able to set the home position to about 1mm off the switch. Do you have the software set to back off the switch after it is triggered?
