psuedo - home
my previous career dealt a lot with mechanical positioning, and we always had an X - Y home at the upper left corner. in your posts I have been noticing that maybe a "job" home position may be assigned, e.g. where the work is clamped. maybe called a job offset in relation to the x-y position of the clamped work piece?
is this typically a corner of the work piece? center?
and then obviously the tool paths need to miss all of the clamps to get there? do you retract full y or just enough to clear?
sorry I have lots of questions...
