Hey Dan,

you are right to bypass the known inaccuracy of stall homing by using the Three-axis Touch Probe, many people do it, e.g. like shown here.

As Alex already mentioned, you could use a block of wood that is permanently fixed somewhere on your workarea, but away from your work, where you can put the probe on, or you could also use a jig for the same purpose, like shown here.

@Aiph5u

You are totally right. By using the XYZ Touch probe, you bypass the stall homing inacuracy, as discussed e.g. in this thread the other day

@Aiph5u

On a Standard Series Onefinity CNC machine, there are two ways to get acceptable positioning repeatability: Either

1. Retrofitting inductive proximity sensors as limit switches or
2. using the Three-axis Touch Probe instead of inaccurate stall homing, either on a fixed block or jig, or on the workpiece itself, and subsequently only relying on the workpiece coordinates.

@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.
