    Not sure about Mach3 but in LinuxCNC the gantry runs to the switch at relatively high speed, backs off a few mm and then runs back to the switch again more slowly to get a more consistent homing reference. It finally backs off again to the set parking position.

    One guess would be your final parking position is a negative value on the wrong side of the switch.
    An optimist says the glass is half full, a pessimist says the glass is half empty, an engineer says you're using the wrong sized glass.
