Fusion 360's post asks how to retract: G28 moves through a waypoint you command, G53 goes straight to machine coordinates. The decision and the reasons.
An overtravel alarm on G28 means the intermediate waypoint, not the home position, landed outside the machine's travel. The waypoint math, and the fix.
G28 moves through an intermediate point you specify, in the active coordinate mode. In G90, G28 Z0 goes to workpiece Z0 first, which can be inside the chuck.
G28 sends the machine back to its reference (home) position, through an intermediate point you specify. Here is how it works and how to use it safely.
