where are you homeing in my plasma that i make i always home in the lower left corner on the x,y ,
about the step velocity ecc first you have to give us more info like gears on motor racks pith the most important is when the motor turns 1 revolution how much distance the machine travel ?
in mach 3 settings page there is a button that is AXIS CALIBRATION  you can adjust your machine from there also
about the torch you have to adjust the torch volts and also you have a torch floting head so the machine will touch the plate first and then will fire after it will adjust it self by the torch volts
let me know if i can help you
regards
jekran

No FRO on Queue option set?

Hood

i did try it but with no luck the only thing that i set was (look ahead 20lines) i adjust it to 1 and then after that code line it will bup up but you still have to wait for the other line then
