Thank you so much! My X axis was last on the list and it didn't home in Ref All sequence, it was only homing if I did it separately. Thanks to you, I could change sequence order and now there is no error 😁 Now, it goes Z, X, Y+A (A is slaved with Y), when X was the last one to home, mach3 triggered some limit switch error... Hope this helps someone 😉
Could I edit the Macro to reference home in the negative direction? My home switch is on the left side of my gantry, hitting reference home button makes the gantry move in the positive/right direction, please help
Well typically the X and Y axis moves first and then Z axis lowers. unless your below set Z zero it will then raise and yes move last. I think this is what is happening to you. Go into config / Safe Z and check allow safe Z moves , select safe z moves in machine cord. set a position high enough to clear maybe -1.0 this is 1" below Z zero or all the way up. if in MM set it to -25.0. with this set up Z will move to set safe Z , X and Y will move and Z will lower to set Z zero.
Thank you so much for making this video. My Z axis moves up until it hit the limit switch, then it moves down and won't stop. What should I do to solve this problem?
Hi Tom, Yes there is a option for home offsets in the Home /limits set up using G28. However I prefer not to use G28 which can get confusing to even veteran users. G28 allows for Absolute and incremental movement which can cause issues. I prefer G53 it is much easier to understand.
Everybody has there way of skinning a cat (at least in china) G90 G40 x--- y--- (to cancel tool diameter offsets ) m5 (turn off spindle) m9(turn off coolant) g0 z.0 G49 z.0 (cancels tool length offset z retracts pos to machine home) g28 x.0 y.0 (return to machine home or custom home) m30 (Rewind) I use many offsets like g54 --g55 ect. ect for different products and multiple parts
Also I enter tool length offsets directly in the main screen as a neg. The method you use is for a production environment were they want to pre set tools as the machine is running home z. Set dro to machine cords bring tool down to touch material or fixture depending on the setup in cam. Highlight the tool number type tool number then hit enter. highlight length then type number from the dro. change from main screen to MDI screen type g49 z.0 to retract Use G44 H___ in the program
ref all home yaptığımda önce z yi yapıyor. o da anahtarı aşıyor ve çarpma yapıyor. bu sorunu win95 de yapıyor. aynı özelliklerde notebokum da win10 da yapmıyor. sebebi ne olabilir. yardımcı olursan sevinirim. teşekkürler.
Hello, Y and X are slave axis, when I click ref all axis my Y axis is moving but A is not, it is just stopping how can I solve it with this codes that you show? Thanks
Hello my friend. when I set all axis to zero and set them as a zero for the machine by ref all home it works well at every time I press ref all home a button. but when I close the computer and re open it and re open mach3 program and press ref all home button the all axis do not back to zero machine that I set it before. How can I solve this problem please
CNC4XR7 The problem appears after the computer is locked from electricity and restarted again. And re-press ref all home as the axes do not return to the zero point that I previously set
Hi Daniel, Yes they do touch and Back off, However since I do use a Tool change Macro they then stay at that location until I jogged them to where I needed most often the center of the work envelope. This I added simply to remove a task I was already doing every time the machine referenced. I thought for larger machines or a CNC lathe where Z axis can be far away from the actual work it would be helpful.
Thanx Sam. I have just been using the park command on tex’s blue screen set but this is much better.
one less button to push, works great and customized to your machine.
Thank you so much!

Glad it helped!
My X is also last on the list ;) and have the same problem as you. Thanks a lot! This will save me some nerves!

In Mach3 config/homing limits. there is a home negative check box. Select this for the axis you want to home in the other direction.
Is there a way to make mach3 not home the 4th axis? I have one setup with out a homing switch and it tries to home it every time...
Yes simply Edit the button script to read 'DoButton( 25 )
This will not home A Axis
@@CNC4XR7 awesome thanks!!
hi when I press goto zero my x and y axis move before lifting the z can you help me figure this out
Well typically the X and Y axis moves first and then Z axis lowers. unless your below set Z zero it will then raise and yes move last. I think this is what is happening to you.
Go into config / Safe Z and check allow safe Z moves , select safe z moves in machine cord. set a position high enough to clear maybe -1.0 this is 1" below Z zero or all the way up. if in MM set it to -25.0.
with this set up Z will move to set safe Z , X and Y will move and Z will lower to set Z zero.
Thank you so much for making this video.

DID you make any changes to your button? emai;l me I will try to help
have you looked in the soft limits page and the custom g28 settings?

G90 G40 x--- y--- (to cancel tool diameter offsets )
m5 (turn off spindle)
m9(turn off coolant)
g0 z.0
G49 z.0 (cancels tool length offset z retracts pos to machine home)
g28 x.0 y.0 (return to machine home or custom home)
m30 (Rewind)
I use many offsets like g54 --g55 ect. ect for different products and multiple parts
And i confuse easily

home z.
Set dro to machine cords
bring tool down to touch material or fixture depending on the setup in cam.
Highlight the tool number type tool number then hit enter.
highlight length then type number from the dro.
change from main screen to MDI screen type g49 z.0 to retract
Use G44 H___ in the program
I agree many ways to get the same result.

You need to look at the button code.
Hello, Y and X are slave axis, when I click ref all axis my Y axis is moving but A is not, it is just stopping how can I solve it with this codes that you show? Thanks
I'm confused Y and A or Y and X check general config make sure slaved axis is checked

Although every time I do a session save before closing Mach3 program
when you exit the button script does it ask you to save? and you say yes.
CNC4XR7 yes I do
@@yasom4566 when you go back into the script is it still showing the changes?

Got you! Thanks
Very simple Time saver,
your welcome!
They should back off to the switch turns off you can set a goto position with the tool change location, if you are not useing it for a toolchange

I gave you a thumbs up, but did you ever think of cleaning up your work area?
Man quilty I was in the middle of a large run of parts and just decided to shoot the video.
I can't get this to work. It goes through the ref all and then just sits there....
Double check your typing for errors?
email me what you have my name a Gmail.com
I had same problem I put this as the first line Code " G1 Z.25 " now works perfect
