[CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Homing position

Hi All

I'm busy converting a conventional lathe to cnc, and wanting to know where
people generally place the home position.

On the Z, if I put it right at the far end, the tailstock might get in the
way if it was set up supporting a short rod. On the other hand, I don't
want to drive the tooling into the chuck to home. Similar with the X. If
tools are mounted, I might not be able to retract the X far enough, or
maybe tools are set up for turning with spindle reversed

Do I presume the 0,0 home is set up at about 1/3 of the Z, and X, at about
1/2 way?

Regards
Roland
