Machine Coordinates are zeroed when you home the machine. Machine Zero is the home switch position.
You set your softlimit positions to be relative to machine zero.

Plus the "Write offset on homing" value. For example, I use -21 on my X axis, -80 on Y and 50 on Z.

Why buy from the US to the UK ?

CNCDrive is in Hungary... EU VAT, no duty, royal snail charges etc).
If you're in Europe ... they are available a little more local (OK , not the C11 etc boards... but other options are available... just ask on here, should anyone else be reading this in the future

Sorry maybe wasn't clear...I didn't buy from US (either in the first place or for the UC400ETH. I purchased from cncdrive direct for the UC400. I couldn't find the UC400 for sale in the UK.

CNC4PC have some nice products + good manuals, just always found the shipping + VAT & import duty + royal mail handling fee on the lot is the bit that kills it (nearly bought the C32 a few times when I had the ESS)
