In ports and pins, disable all the axis limit switches and just have home switches enabled and try homing.

At 18000 RPM its only .07mm (.003") per rev so I would put a G64 in at the top of the code and see if that helps.

Homing is controlled by the motion card, some use a fast approach and then back off to allow a slow accurate position, large machines need this more than small ones.  Some plugins have an option to turn on/off accurate homing.

That is a question for the Vectric forum, Mach3 just runs code produced by Vectric.

That sounds to be working okay now.  I would forget about the limit switches and set up the softlimits.  Homing works in different ways depending on the controller used.

Wrap the suitcase in aluminium foil and earth it to the machine and try again.
