Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Stupid Home SW location vs Limit SW location question..

To 'back off' from over-travel limit switch on my SHARNOA, I switch to JOG
mode, and while holding the RESET button in, I press the appropriate JOG
(axis) switch. On a Whitney Plasma-Punch I used to run, I had to
'power-down', remove the guard over the timing belt, and turn the belt by
hand to move off the limit switch.
