I can go over and shoot some pics of the limit switches for reference.
BTW I was able to turn the ballscrews by hand to find the true hard limits of travel - then adjust the limit switches and machine parameters to extend the axis travels while still having some safety margin.
When I ask the Hurco service tech why they limited the machine with the reduced travel he said it was because the travel limits matched the published spec for the machine.

I wish the limit switches did anything! There's two in there for Z, only one is wired (only one set of wires coming into the area). I can manually trigger the limit switch, but it does nothing at all. I'm starting to feel as if someone pulled a fast one on us when we got this "great condition" CNC mill. We purchased a CNC lathe at the same time, and had to adjust the limit switches, but this damn thing doesn't even recognize the limit switch.
I wouldn't have a problem adjusting the switched limits because they're pretty much a no-brainer. The Dynapath control has software limits that you adjust in the parameters, which work fine for X and Y, but Z doesn't even notice them!
