    Where do I in the openbuilds software I set the limits for X,Y,Z? Like for X all the way to the left I want to set as zero and all the way to the right what ever numerical value is for the right? And the same for Y and Z.

    I am a total new guy to CNC :)

    I suggest you also read this: Frequently Asked Questions · gnea/grbl Wiki

    It will help you understand why saying "Like for X all the way to the left I want to set as zero and all the way to the right what ever numerical value is for the right" isnt correct in a standard grbl config. You can certainly put your limit switches there (home there), but you wont be setting machine 0 there.
