Nice vid as always and good to show mistakes warts and all
. I noticed that you are going to finally put homing switches on using mechanical switches if you mount them as you indicated it will only be a matter of time before you crush them.
It is better to mount them so that the gantry or whatever can ride over them it is easier to use proxy switches mounted at right angles to the direction of travel so that the target runs over the top of the switch...Clive

Chris, I agree with Clive (though I'm not sure I'm in a good position to comment as I've not got all my limits mounted yet and those that are aren't wired in.......
) proxy's are the way to go and they're no harder to wire than mechanical switches.
Go vertical, nothing to be lost and everything to be gained!!!!! Mine is going vertical (well 85°) when I get the time at work to cut up and weld the frame (the steel is sitting rusting away out in the yard.....) and I can't wait as bending over the sides is a PITA
P.S. if you want some Proxy's then I've some you can have.Last edited by njhussey; 01-02-2016 at 03:07 PM.

Morning all,
Part 6 is up and I guess shows the advantages of modelling the neck by cutting the profile in CAD from a virtual block i.e. you get a negative model at the same time:
Unusually there were no EBKAC (Error Between Keyboard And Chair) moments to show this time round...My CNC Projects: https://www.youtube.com/imadethisoncnc

Thanks Neil,
Looks like there might be a bit of a gap in videos for this project, as I'm stuck whilst waiting for deliveries of both hardware to make sure the body routes and drilling is correct and some acrylic glue for the neck binding.
Luckily there's plenty of other projects to do...My CNC Projects: https://www.youtube.com/imadethisoncnc

Part 7 - no CNC in this video due to binding the necks, but that will resume for the next two videos to come:
