Ok, so maybe I'm over thinking this. So I should just mount switches in
the centers, make sure I'm jogged close to a known side on start up, and
just home on them. I don't want to have to bounce off the limits, my X
is almost a half a meter away from the center. (35" between limits). And
I keep my vise usually bolted on the left side... The quill, yea, as
putting a switch in there would be a challenge and I've set the 'home'
at -1" from the limit. And because I'll most often change tools in a
collet touching off the Z will happen. I'm slowly buying NBTB 30 tool
holders, I have an Erickson quick change.
So now I'll have to work out switches that are repeatable to 5 microns.
I'd think focused optical if you could keep it clean would be the way to
go, I don't know.
Thanks, Dan.
