    Now understand. You use encoder incremental or absolute?

    Re: Correct Zero position

    i'm new at cnc and i'm not sure what are you asking, but can i tell you that i'm using stepper motor directly connected to the ball screw, i'm using gecko drive g540 as controller for the steppers, and i'm using a hitachi m12vc router for spindle.

    I not recommend engine stepper for the axes how XYZ, B or C i recommend engine stepper only tool change. For the axes use servomotor with encoder or magnetic tape.
