    Sorry Nick don't agree. Softlimits work good because they won't allow code to run unless it fits within the machines cutting range. They also stop you accidently running into the hard limits which can be pain.
    The only thing is that the machine must be homed first for them to work properly.

    ECCO: First Slow zones don't work so forget them.

    Setting the Soft limits is easy. Set Soft Max for X & Y to +19 & 7.375 and Soft Min =0. For Z axis Soft Max =0 Soft Min -13.500

    Remember you must always Home when first starting machine or after resetting for soft limits to work correctly.
