Repeatability of microswitches

on 2000-07-21 13:49:26 UTC
Hi, all

I'm working on a mill CNC conversion, among other things, and
am wondering about the best way to do the 'home' switches.

Are microswitches repeatable to a few thou or better, or would
something else be better (photo interruptor, or hall effect ?).

Thanks for any input,

Best regards,
