    Homing MACH3 Turn (lathe)

    Hi Forum,

    this maybe a silly question but I have just setup my Lathe with Mach 3 for the first time, I have installed Z, X home limit switches, probe and E'stop which work as excepted. As I am only familiar with Mill operation, how does one in MAch3 tell the Z,X axis to go to home position and set Zero?

    Cant see this anywhere on the screens like mach mil?

    Should be on manual mode page. Home all..dont use that as it homes z then x. I dont think a machinist wrote mach 3. home z first then x if u want to prevent crashes. Well, i set up gang tooling so it is important for my set up.
