    TOOL TOUCH PROBE D5F-2B34C-Y

    This is an Omron, 4 way, optical, sealed switch with ceramic touch pads and 1 micron repeatability. Retails at about £580 + tax

    Get one while they're hot :naughty:

    Not yet, had two attempts at cutting the fixing.

    I shall persevere

    Unit looked a tadge vulnerable so I contacted the seller and bought 2 more at his start price :heehee:

    Z lever done, the Omron switch does everything it said on the tin, un-freaking-believeable. Farnell list them for £1664 + tax
