ok, I got home and did as you said, and well it worked! KIND OF
I swear I have ghosts in my machine.
So, here is what I did.
I powered everything up, loaded into Mach3, and they hit the Reference Home button.
and like every other time, it zeroes out the machine. as shown the graphic bellow (look at the X).

Then , I load in the Gcode file I will attach in the next message.
- I move the bit too the block in the Bottom left of the stock.
- I zero the X, Y and Z
- Regen ToolPath.
- and click Start
This is when things go weird.
- It starts to Zero back to the top of the Mill, but at a incredibly slow pace. like 1 mm every 5 seconds.
I would love to know how to make it do this step Faster.- Next, it travels all the way to the Right.

- And then starts running through the cutting pattern that I did up in BobCad.
only now, its cutting from right to left. and in the video, you can clearly see it cuts from left to right. So, I decided, something is wrong, and I will correct this. I hit the Reference Home button. and then it starts Zeroing itself to the Right, (instead of the left)
So, NOW, I am confused, and reboot the PC, I exit Mach3 saving Nothing, reboot. and try just doing the Reference zero again.
and again, its starts Zeroing to the Right. (as seen bellow)

So I am really confused. Am I loosing it?
I took a screenshot of mach3 running through the program. , as you can see, its processing from the right to the left.
but WHY? I didnt change anything in the config, did the Gcode change it? seems odd that it would.
