Limit switch mounts for Shapeoko
Description
I'M In The Process Of Adding Limit Switches To My Shapeoko. Limit Switches Are Nice Because They Give You Two Things: 1) They Give You Some Added Protection Against Driving A Carriage Off The End Of Your Machine. 2) They Give You The Ability To Set Up An Auto-Homing Routine. Auto-Homing Can Be Very Helpful When You'Re Doing A Lot Of Repeat Cutting Against A Fixed Jig. I Found This [5-Pack Of Limit Switches On Amazon](Http://Www.Amazon.Com/Gp/Product/B00Dn7Z67E/Ref=As_Li_Ss_Tl?Ie=Utf8&Camp=1789&Creative=390957&Creativeasin=B00Dn7Z67E&Linkcode=As2&Tag=Zorlackcom-20) For Less Than $5. That Provides More Than Enough Limit Switches To Set Up An Auto-Zeroing System. The Mounts Nestle Inside The Makerslide. The Two Holes Should Be Tapped For M5 Screws And Bolted To The End-Plates. [This Document](Https://Github.Com/Grbl/Grbl/Wiki/Connecting-Grbl) Describes How To Connect Limit Switches To Grbl. [Here'S A Video Of The Switches In Action!](Https://Www.Youtube.Com/Watch?V=_Kojuzzse-K) **Edit** Small Change: Added A Third Hole To Allow For Mounting On The Y-Axis End-Plate.
