I recently purchased a Matsuura MC-500V and could use a little help. I have run cnc lathes before but never a mill. The problem I am having right now is when when I go to zero the x axis. I can get the z and y axis to zero, but the x axis will not zero and keeps running until it hits the axis limit. To zero the axis I am doing the following:

Place the machine togle switch in Jog mode
flip the zero return switch on
Use the machine to the + limit
when the machine gets approximately 2 inches from the limit it slows, and the zero position light should turn when it reaches the zero position.

It works correctly for the y and z axis the x it just slows down and continues till I get an alarm for the axis limit.

Any help would be appreciated.
