Hello all,
I set up the switches an "Home X" and "Home Z". in axis, the button
for homing an axis changes to "HomeAll",
That gives me the impression that it would home the lathe 'automatically' ?
The switches are positioned so that if both were triggered the cross
slide would be as close to the chuck as possible, and moved all the way
to the "front" towards the user/operator.)
(don't know if that is a preffered "homing spot, but seems reasonable).
Also, if the crosslide is moving towards a limit switch, I assume that
would be the minus/negative direction for that axis?
when I click the "Home All" button, it moves the Z axis really slow
(and I mean REALLY slow). I assume that it should do that at jog speed?
thanks,
Ron

but, if I turn the lathe an computer off.. then restart them
and want to home the lathe.. it wouldn't know how to do that unless
it hit a limit switch?
Yes, the limit switch can be set up to also be taken as the home
switch. But, you need some switch to make home a consistent
position. I don't use limit switches on my mill, I just have a switch
that is used for homing. The software limits have been fine for me.
