  1. Most current CNCs have a startup routine where the machine goes to the extents of each axis, does a little dance and ends up in what’s usually referred to as the “home ” position. It’s at an extreme position on the table. Usually, but not always, the CNC sets both the X and Y axis to 0.

  2. The home position on a CNC machine is a static, repeatable position. For true homing to work, the machine needs to have a set of switches on each axis that can be triggered by an object that does not move (such as an end plate or side plate of the frame).
