The manual for Mach 2 says that the range for the soft limits is -999999 to + 999999 units. I wanted to make sure, is that in Inches or Step pulses or what?
I'm about to start serious production work with my new K2 machine and I want to make sure I dont run into anything...

I think you need home switches to use soft limits. And I think it's inches, if your machine is setup for inches. (not metric)

Dennis,
It's units, whatever that happen to be on your system, millimeters or inches. It tells the software not to move the machine past a certain point. For example, I have mine set to -1" on Z since I don't cut anything deeper than that.
