Good morning. I am trying to design a new multipart project where I will need to take the project off the CNC put another on and back and forth. If I use a “custom” zero point, meaning, not using the center or one of the corners, will the Masso controller remember that zero point after homing for each file? Thank you

What do you mean with homing? Homing has to be done only once, after the startup of the machine.

Homing ≠ Returning to home coordinates.

Have you thought of using a fence attached to the wasteboard? You would set the _workpiece zero_ related to this fence only once and you would not have to set _workpiece zero_ again for every similar workpiece: You could just re-run the same program over and over.

Hello Aiph,

I do use a fence. As far for homing would be, for example, the next day and the system was turned off, and I would need to home. Some projects I will use the center as opposed to the corners for XY zero.

For example: Project A I use the center to for my work origin. I have to take it of to say pour epoxy. I then put Project B on the machine and use the lower left for XY zero. Done for the day turn everything off.

I put project A back on the CNC home will it remember I used the center for XY zero?
