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

Hi Matt,

How much info can you supply? a pix of brackets and switches you used,
and a text description of where each goes (i.e., "left end of X bed...")
would help! Or even a drawing (DXF, JPG, etc) of the brackets. If you
are using std. micro switches, we can probably figure out which switch
is used. Give us some hints!

P.S. Want to sell a set of brackets?
