Keeping zero position

Hey Dave,

@Aiph5u

what @ChrisM suggested above, is to clamp a block somewhere on your workarea, that can be left permanently there, away from your work, and to use the touch probe on this block in order to substitute homing with a more reliable method. Unlike when using stall homing, this block never moves and repeatability should be excellent.

PS: @JDog in fact suggested this too here:

Since the machine will never be in the same place when it homes. The only solution to a repeatable x and y is a fixed location on the spoil board that can be probed and set each time the machine is turned on. For example for the epoxy guy who wants to make multiple pours. With this method he could actually remove the piece and let it dry and then return it to the machine when he was ready because the start position will be the same for all pieces that start in the set corner fixture.
