    Need help from Plasmacam owners

    I am interested in building a gantry for a diy cnc plasma cutter. I would like to use micro switches to detect torch height like the plasmacam 98z (older model) I have two switches from an old machine but the model # is worn off and plasmacam is not helpful unless you own a machine. Does anyone have a 98z that can tell me the model # of the switches that home the machine and control torch height? I think they might be Omron. Thanks.

    Look at MOUSER.COM or a local appliance repair shop.
    The limit switches are very common items.
    Good luck with your project.

    You can get switches that are "normally open", "normally closed" or combination.
