Returning to Zero work position will tell you if you have lost position thru missed steps or slipping couplings etc.

But before all this have you Surfaced the Bed.? . . . . With fine engraving you can't have any error in the bed.!
Sorry, was on another plane there. Confusing my MCS with WCS, don't know if that is a common phrasing but that is what DSP refers to as the machine home position and the Work home/zero position. Yes I have returned it to the zero work position after homing and then drilled down with a 2mm drill bit, did this 10 times and was spot on each time??
