Yes. I got some very small microswitches and mounted them to the
various axes. For the X, I removed the big stop post in the front
middle of the saddle and cut it with an upside-down Vee. I made some
tiny T-nuts to fit in the slot in the front, and mounted the microswitch
to that slot. This is a picture of that machine (sold to a customer)
but the details are real hard to see. I think the Y and Z axis switches
are visible, but the X is covered by the chip guard.
