Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Reed switch for limits - anyone done it?

Hi Ken,

good luck! I've thought about mounting micro-micro switches on my
Sherline mill, but haven't quite figured out where. You may be on to
something there. I'd hate to do a lot of "carving" on the mill's bed,
'tho. The other thought I had was to mount photo-interrupter type
switches.
