    ·TC· Option THEORY ON CNC MACHINES. 1.3 Home search. When the CNC is off, the axes may be moved manually or unintentionally. When that happens, the CNC loses the actual position of the axes, that's why it is recommended (although not necessary) to do a "home search" when the turning the CNC on. With this operation, the tool moves to a point set by the manufacturer and the CNC synchronizes its position assuming the coordinates set by the manufacturer for that point, referred to machine reference zero.

Part zero must be in the part rotation axis so that the calculated turning speed is the same as the best cutting speed. A maximum turning speed must be calculated because the turning speed increases as the diameter decreases and a certain speed should not be exceeded on part with a large diameter.
