The manual for Mach 2 says that the range for the soft limits is -999999 to + 999999 units. I wanted to make sure, is that in Inches or Step pulses or what? I'm about to start serious production work with my new K2 machine and I want to make sure I dont run into anything... Dennis  |

| I think you need home switches to use soft limits. And I think it's inches, if your machine is setup for inches. (not metric)

| Dennis, It's units, whatever that happen to be on your system, millimeters or inches. It tells the software not to move the machine past a certain point. For example, I have mine set to -1" on Z since I don't cut anything deeper than that. JR |
