General Mach Discussion / Re: Limit switch issues

You know I don't trust the CNC, ANY cnc. So the limits on my machine are connected right in the E-Stop circuit which controls the main power contactor which quite literally stops everything, and puts Mach 3 in E-stop. Now If I hit the limit and everything shuts down I have to push the reset button and hold it in while jogging away from the limit. My limits slide by too, not a physical stop that could break something. So you can see it move the wrong way still and not break anything. This is a pain to reset. Or it was, once I learned my machine I stopped hitting the limits!
