Hey Kevin,
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.
