Thanks for the reply
got my head round it now, effectively i am homing to 1220 (x) and 0 (Y) as this is the bottom right hand side of the table, this is done by adding an offset in the homing tab X axis.
This also means that you have to redo the park position, tool change position and fixed plate as they will also now be wrong as they use the machine coordinates.
Just done another test cut and it works perfectly.
thanks for your help, sometime a point in the right direction is all that is needed
Hope this is useful to someone else as well
Regards
Gary
