    The limit switch on the Z axis of my benchtop mill has an adjustable set screw with locking nut as the physical stop, it is adjusted so that the limit/home switch acts before the stop and so the switch can't be squashed,

    Yep that's poor design.

    Better way is to make so Switch rides with the axis and rides over target ramp at each end. Less wires and switches to wrong and easy to setup.
