    Unhappy New Diy CNC fixec gantry x-z and moving table Y

    I'm building a cnc for making pcb's the gantry does not move and has the X and Z axis. The Table moves in the Y direction....
    I perplexed as to where should I home the machine....
    X-left Z-top Y back of machine
    X-right Z-top Y front of machine
    X-left Z-top Y front of machine
    X-right Z-top Y back of machine.......

    It appears to me that the Y movement will be totally reversed from what a moving gantry would be, I feel like a deer in the headlights....
    Can anybody explain to me where to assign the home, and ho to set up the gcode on this confusing frankenstien cnc I built...

    The table is 7" [Y] by 9" [X] and gantry is in the middle so that the full 7 inch Y travel can be used....
