So the physical build is complete and I wanted to share a couple of

General CNC CNC Routers

@becker_thorne When you are in the main interface screen for GRBL, do your jog buttons work properly?

X+ = move right
X- = move left
Y+ = move back
Y- = move forward
Z+ = move up
Z- = move down.
Can you verify that these are correct?

@becker_thorne Couple more things, Becker:

Can you tell me what G-Code sender (control) program you are using?

Also, please read this:

It explains in detail what all the variables are and what they do.

Good evening. I reviewed a lot of the suggestions and directions I figured out the issue in GRBL and got the machine to home properly ($3=3). Everything is moving in the right directions and I was able to load a test cut GCode (the Hobby-Fab logo) but just my luck I got a BSOD on my shop laptop (its a few years old). So I am working on that now.
BUT a big thank you to everyone. Sincerely!
Fingers crossed I will carve my first test pattern tomorrow night.
