Forgive my noobness!
So I have a Sieg X3 with the deluxe CNCFusion.com kit. I added the A2ZCNC.com tooling plate that allowed my to mount a Sherline 3700 rotary table as the A axis around the X axis. I use LinuxCNC as my controller software.
This is my first CNC machine and I've never been a machinist so I've only been cutting machinable wax and learning that way. The concept of homing with 3 axis was pretty straight forwards and so I never gave 4 axis homing any thought until I had it all mounted and was looking at it.
I assume that I would redo my setup in LinuxCNC where the Y axis 0 is dead center of the A axis rotation. The Z axis 0 would be the very top of the stock at the Y axis 0 position. Hopefully you can see it in your head what I'm talking about!
So, if somebody with more experience can chime in here and give me some pointers it would be great! Links and such would be great for further reading on what I'm getting into here.
