I’m running into the issue of homing resetting my zero. On my last CNC these operations were separate and didn’t affect one another. Instead of driving the spindle out of the way to access the material I like clicking one button and moving to the far corner, but this action on the 1F seems to reset the zero to the home position.
Yes, homing resets the zeros to the home position. There is normally no reason to home more than once after bootup. Home just sets the machine limits. If you want you can add G53 X0 Y0 Z0 in the controller settings to send the spindle to home position after the end of your tool path.
