Need help finding coolant-resistant micro switch

[declanhalpin]

Hi All,

I have a Taig CNC machine and I installed some cheap-o Radio Shack home switches. Well, we use flood coolant and they crapped out fairly quickly. Does anyone know of some reasonably-priced small switches that can stand up to the task? I am using a xylotex board and it is already wired (from the radio shack switches) like this: Xylotex FAQ

I have googled, but honestly I'm so unfamiliar with this topic that I'm not confident I can select a switch that'll work.

Thanks in advance!!!

You can use sealed proximity's or, for mechanical I always use Honeywell 914CE2 style ebay 390370013513

Thanks for the quick reply!

I'm unclear on how/if this switch will work with my xylotex board - do you know?

Not familiar with the Xylotex, but if you are referring to the honeywell they are just a N.O. or N.C. sealed micro switch, they can be input directly into a parallel port.
