Robo, I had a similar problem.

1) Go to the diagnostics page of Mach 3 to see if the switch works... try to make the switch status light flash.

2) If it works, create a temporary flag several inches below the highest point.

3) Homing only works if the acceleration is high enough not to fly past the edge of the flag.

My machine is doing some jazzy things with the spindle speed too.

I'm going to be looking for some info on how to calibrate it... I'll let you know if I find something.
