Now that I have added a 1 inch corner fence at my home position on my spoiler board I need to change the home coordinates to X=1 and Y=1 so when I hit the "home" button on the yellow keypad, the bit will position over the X=1 Y=1 position. This will be my 0,0 position on my material that I will be carving from now on. How do I go about changing the Home position?

If you have proximity switches:

Click Tools|Setup (or type, TS) to bring up the ShopBot Setup dialog. Click next to go to the 4th (I think) screen and change the default of -0.5 to whatever offset you like for the X & Y offsets from the switches.

This is how I use it with a corner fence. Even if you lose power, you can always just run the C3 command to get back precisely to your home position. Remember, the offset is a negative number...
