Sorry, spell check changed axis to anises.
Also, Is there a good way to round my g-code files to the nearest .005. I'm not sure, but I think that I lose steps because my setup only gives me 200 steps per inch. If I am trying to control are 4 decimal places, the .000x steps have to add up.

Subject: [mach1mach2cnc] Help on offsets and such
I got around to installing referencing home switches tonight. I've been eyeballing things on my router table, but with the switches I should be able to be a bit more accurate.
here is my question:
1. I have a fixture on my table that has a 0,0,0 location on it and all of my files are coded to start from this point. My switches are -2, -1.5, +.55 from the fixture 0,0,0. I don't use any length offsets on my tools cause I have my z reference switch set up as a touch switch (the tool comes down and presses the switch when I reference the z). What is the best way to reference the anises and then have them know where to go using the fixture 0,0,0.
2. How do I reference all three axises in order. I need to do the following
1. go to safe z
2. reference x
3. reference y
4. reference z
5 go to safe z
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Mike Hammel
