I'm nearly finished my second cnc machine, and this time the layout is a traditional moving gantry type, with a long X axis (which the gantry moves along), and a short Y axis.

My question is whether there is a simple way to implement a 'Park' button which sends the tool from X0 Y0 (home, bottom left corner) to X0 Y500 (top left corner) to move it out of the way when loading and clamping work pieces. Although not a massive problem, it might be a nice feature to give a bit more elbow room.

I'm running Mach3, so can obviously use the MDI and type commands in, but a dedicated external button might be nice. I'm assuming this would need a script (which I haven't a clue about) to move the tool to home in Z (in case it was near or in the work) then over to X0 Y0. Any ideas?

Thanks
