Hi,

Not sure exactly what the pitch (turns per inch) is for your leadscrews but Al Lenz made a nice calculator which you can download from here http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,16315.msg110286.html#msg110286

I never use the home position but I understand that it homes the Z axis first, have you checked your home switches are working correctly ?

Under 'Config' check your homing limits.
Is your GCode finishing with a G28 ?
