General Mach Discussion / Re: setting machine "home" reference position

Thank you John. I realize that establishing a home reference position is not necessary in a home hobby CNC machine, but I want to learn how to do it anyway. I didn't realize it would be this difficult to find information on how to accomplish such a basic procedure. As I mentioned in my post, even a tech from Taig Machine Tools gave me incorrect instruction on how to do it.

General Mach Discussion / setting machine "home" reference position

« on: May 18, 2023, 05:36:24 PM »

I'm new to CNC machining and have been unable to establish digital(no switches) home reference position  on my new Taig DSLS 3000AB Micro MILL using Mach3. I have been unable to find a tutorial that explains the process in a way that I, as a complete newcomer to CNC can understand how it is accomplished. I am making progress in operating the mill otherwise(program/work zero, etc.). Even the instructions from a tech. at Taig didn't work. Using his instructions I was able to set a Machine Zero(?), but when I set a program/work zero I lost the original machine home, as the work zero was now machine home. I hoping someone can help me with this issue. Thanks in advance
