    Limit Switches - 8020 builders

    Looking for pics of the different ways that you've mounted home and limit switches on your 8020 framed machines.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Here's how I mounted mine. However you really want to turn this kind of switch 90 degrees from how I have it so a ramp on the moving part of the machine moves over the roller on the switch to actuate it. But even mounted this way I get repeatability around 0.001-0.002" when homing.
