Home and Away

Easel has the home function button which I use all the time (I have limit switches). What would be really useful would be an “Away” button which took the spindle to the furthest away position. This would then allow access to the table to locate and secure the workpiece.

My current workaround is to invoke Carve and use the jog keyboard buttons (set to 10mm step) to move the spindle to the top right. This takes way too long. If anyone has an alternative method I’d be keen to hear it.

I think this feature could be very easily implemented by using the work area parameters and moving the spindle to max Z, X and Y. One button, one line of gcode and job done.

Cheers Dean
