Title: limit and home switches
Post by: vista on April 23, 2007, 07:31:46 AM

Having just completed building my first cnc router table I now need to install limit and home switches befor I destroy all my hard work.
I am running Xylotex drive, power supply and 269 oz in stepper motors. Any advice on what switches to use, where I can get them and the installation and wiring of the same would be of great assistance.
I have one other silly question: I am able to jog the X & Y axis and have managed to cut a near perfect circle using one of the wizards but how do I jog the Z axis ????

any switch will work... I like to use automationdirect.com

and you can jog the Z with the pageUP and page Down buttons

Thanks
