RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Home / Limit switches

Les -

I was referring to LPT s/w-type CNC controls that (IIRC) refer to
having inputs for 3 switches per axis. Do people actually use all
3?

In other machines I did not use a home switch per se.

I reverse direction on hitting the limit switch and stop on the
first index pulse. That is soft home.

That is most common with servos.... perhaps you are refering to
steppers.
