    If I have this correct, on my new lead 1010 build with the high z, the x axis and y axis limit switches are the only ones used for the homing feature. Correct ?
    on the lead 1010 the z limit switch is located on bottom whereas the limit switch is located at the very top and not used for homing ?
    Correct ?
    I'm very new at cnc so have a lot to learn

    CNCs should home to the top (so when homing it pulls the bit up and out the way of anything on the bed, before it starts moving in XY.
