Re: Newbie/initial setup; homing correct directions, wont travel past hard limits
Let me see if I understand. With the machine homed at the rear right corner the entire table is then in the lower left quadrant of the classic Cartesian coordinate diagram? And Z can only move negative (down) from the home position?
That seems normal to me. I do much of my work in that quadrant because I like to zero on the upper right corner of the part. You only need to make sure that your part setup in CAM setup agrees with your machine.
On the other hand, you should be able to set the work 0,0,0 anywhere on the table and work from there, it really has nothing to do with where the home position is.
Maybe I'm not understanding the problem you are having.
