    Angry New Tormach 1100 won't reference Z axis

    Hi All,
    I am a new user of my brand new Tormach 1100. It will reference X axis and Y axis, but not Z axis. Have looked at limit switch and appears to be fine and the switch is connecting. Machine does not stop when going down. I see no errors on the diagnostic page until I emergency stop and then the X, Y and Z axis boxes on the left turns yellow. Z axis making rough, loud noise when going down also. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Aloha

    The Z axis references up.... You probably have something else going on.

    Angry Problem fixed

    I got it working. A little fustrating because the NC file that was suppose to be in my G Code to try was not in the G Code folder and the SprutCAM software demo will not load because of a SCKernel.dll error.

    What does gcode and Sprutcam have to do with referencing the Z axis? I'm confused, but that's nothing new.
