Hey thanks so much for your help & interest. All of this CNC and CAM is a new thing for me. I'm constantly learning more every day and it's awesome. I'm actually still learning how to properly use the G** workspaces. When I start up my machine the G54 workspace is active so this is what I've been working with up to now. I know all my issues are operator error so anything you share with me is considered valuable advise.

I think I can cancel out end stop error because I was able to repeatably locate the G54 zero location prior to running the job.

I'm not sure about the lost steps. I'm really just starting to learn the limits of my machine so I've been taking it slow. My cutting feed rate was really low plus the low pitch setting.

Is setting my job origin as the center of one of the bore locations the wrong thing to do? I couldn't use a corner of the plate because the spindle can't reach them. Some of my workflow is sort of just what I've found to work through experiment. I'm sure I'm not doing things 100% proper.

I'm at work right now but I will share the code with you when I get home. Again, thank you for support and I'm completely open to criticism. The thing I'm striving for the most at this point is repeatability. I want to be able to shut my machine down and continue exactly where I left off the next time I start up. I can dial in my feeds and speeds later.
