I know this is a silly question but, do you have your soft limits enabled? What version are you running. I could do some test on mine.

You need to have a point to zero your mill, when you have a home switch you reference to it and that then tells your softlimits what its extents are. You could make a mark at the extreme of one end of each axis, jog to them and make that your reference , your soflimits should then work. You will need to do this each time you start Mach.

Thankyou that is what i thought,
Well that will give me the incentive
to get the limit switches installed

The unit i am using i got off of ebay
Its an old Sony robot  kind of light weight
So My Crashes are not as destructive as others!
It just keeps adding counts on the DRO
IT is just a testing platform for me to learn Mach3 and CNC Programing
Though it may work ok for a PCB Router????

Thanks for the help everyone
No rush on the softlimits just thought i was missing somthing
