Hello & Help
 We got a new M4a mill & installed the Mach3 software , never got the x4xml file , found one on the net & loaded it . after trying a few things i can get z to home out but x & y just run past the limits . the home switches show they're working .  Any help would be appreciated !!
            Thanks , Steve
