Thread: About homing and switches...
Hybrid View
- 
	09-09-2019 #1My chicom mechanical switches are quite reliable, omron copies. 
 
 They are not too accurate, and the mechanical assys are terrible, in terms of machinist parts.
 0.01-02 mm +/- in repeatability/accuracy is terrible.
 For my cnc lathe, industrial quality.
 
 But for routers, they are much more than good enough.
 
 (My lathe is for sub-micron or 1 micron repeatability.)
 
 Cheap 5$ optical limit switches provide about 2 microns accuracy, fairly easily.
