I have no suggestions for you but wanted to let you know you're not alone and I've just given up on it. 

I think I'm going to end up using the X Box controller with the amazing plug in that has been written for it.

Thanks all, I'm chomping at the bit to get it cutting, needless to say!

Ok, got a quick video but please forgive the shaking in the beginning as I didn't setup the tripod for this short run.

Wrote up some quick code to just go around the extents to give you an idea. These are 1/2" - 5 start screws and I'm getting Z=6" Y=20.750" X=36" travels.

Still playing around with tunings and settings and as you can probably see, I still have a LOT of work to do such as installing the home switches (wiring is already there), finish router/vac base, finish wiring and making panels for the controller box etc. etc..... 

This is still processing on youtube as I just uploaded it so it may not be very clear right away.

Thanks to everyone that helped along the way

Glad it helped, and yes, all these settings can definitely be intimidating. I'm far from a Mach 3 power user so I know exactly what you mean

Config menu at the top/click homing and limits/then change the red"x" to a green check mark or vice versa under the axis row in the "Reversed" column.
