ok so I can now ref home and Z references first then Y and finally X, all seems as it should be to me.
New problem, I jog to work piece, home at the cutting position and regen toolpath,thats right ? yes?
then machine tries to cut through to china! and to top it all off after I reset and checked my settings , hit start , and in stopped saying limit switch activated and keeps on cutting out after reset (which is accepted) immediately I hit start!
Seriously is there a simpler alternative to Mach3?
