Thanks ger21 you nailed it. X axis switch was on. Had been fussing a few months ago and had not gotten back to it before I forgot about my fiddling. Thanks again.

I guess I should add that the technique I had been using was to manually set the router bit to home, then turn on the CNC drivers, then hitting ref all home would set all the axis to 0. I'm beginning to understand that Ref all home actually is for homing to home switches ?

Thanks Sargon, I'll dig into that, but makes me wonder why Ref all home did work initially. without homing/limit switches.

Thanks for your replies
I do not have any home or limit switches, yet.
I will check the X axis backlash, but I had not been fiddling with such things when this started happening.
I'm Looking forward to that hand to forehead moment.

Hello,
Recently when I hit ref all home the x axis takes off and does not stop until I kill it. It does this with or without my CNC machine (zenbot) turned on.
Anyone have an idea what could cause or how to fix ?
Thanks
