Hello,

I just finished my table and got it running. I have to home in the back left corner due to space issues. I thought I had it oriented right, but I dont so I switched the homing direction. The problem is when I cut letters in the Y axis (long direction of the table) it is carving them mirrored. I will attach images. Is there anyway to keep its home in the back left but not carve backwards without reversing the whole gantry? I have tried to figure it out, but no change.

Thanks

First, reverse the Y axis motor so the machine cuts true un-mirrored letters.
Then just tell your control software that your Y homing switch is at Y=1000 (or whatever your Y axis travel is).
You did not say which program you are using. If it's Mach3, here is my machine's configuration to give you an example.

On the X and Y axes, the home switches are at 0 - so the "Home offset" is 0 and the "Home Negative" is on.
On the Z axis, the home switch is at Z=60. Hence the "Home offset" is 60 and the "Home Negative" is off.
I have yet to figure out what exactly Art meant by "Reversed". It seems that this parameter just needs to stay off no matter where your switches are.

Thank You very much!
