Hi
There must be something I am missing with home switches. I can understand how they could be installed in the same place as limits, but how can you have a home switch which isn't at the maximum travel range for the axis without detracting from it's travel?
Surely when the axis tries to travel to its limit, it would hit the homeswitch and presumably snap it?
Also, how would a fence or locating pins be mounted so that they were located relative to the home switch origin?
Thanks for the info as well totallyrc, very useful
