Well not sure that this goes in show "n" tell but I think it is close...

Thought i would post how I am starting to manage a pen project in Microsoft OneNote which is a notes management software tool.

Here is the main page notice the tabs across the top:



From the main page I created an index of all the components I wanted to document.  So far I have only done the compass.



Next you can go to the compass main page folder now notice the tabs on the right side.  These are the steps in the process. I will show each one:



Now into the first tab marked set-up:



Next is the raw material.  I can put a link to the website and I saved the page as a PDF encase the page ever changes.



Next is the DXF drawing file.  I posted a photo and attached the actual file into the page:



G-code is the same style with a picture and the file:



Next is the tool I used to make the cut again I pasted the website and this time I did a screen capture of the tool.



Next I described how I sharpened the tool. This page is long with many pictures and a step by step method.



Next is the machine set-up again this is fairly long but I only captured a page to show it here:



This is the bending process:



And finally the enameling process:



Just thought I would share the idea.

Can you do me a favor and whenever you have a chance can you take a photo of your homing switch setup?

Thanks

Now with homing switches you only put one on per axis, correct?

I am interested in putting homing switches on my mill but I do not have a clue on what to look for.  Can someone make some suggetions on what to buy so I don't end up having to throw the first set out because I didn't buy the right type, style or quality.

I have a grizzly mini mill using a KDN controller http://www.kdntool.com/_sgg/m4m2_1.htm

Thanks.

I am a real knucklehead when it comes to anything electrical.  Is there something that exists that graphically describes how to make this connection? 

I have a KDN driver http://www.kdntool.com/_sgg/m4m2_1.htm and I have the pin out configuration for the homing connector but it sounds like you are using the printer port for sensing. 

My main question is how do you make the connection from the plate to the printer cable????

Thanks.

Dan.   

PS... why wouldn't you make a spring loaded plate to touch off on and write a macro the hits the plate backs up a little and feeds down real slow.  That way your not dinging the plate and I would think getting a more accurate position.  I would liek this because a lot of my tools are pointed.  You could also make an offset so that you place the touch off on your part and the macro subtracts the offset.
