The illusive Boxford 260vmc

[i2i]

I had done it but it was untidy so as i speak im tidying it up, should only take 15 mins or so then as you say its soft limits, I believe that you can set things up so that the axis hit limits and back off to home...

Not exactly, as that's the function of a home switch you've described. Soft limits are ends of travel that you set in Mach to halt the axis movement, just like the dogs you set on a manual mill to knock off the power feed. They stop the machine going past these electronic (gasp) points.

Obviously they can be turned off if needed.

Obviouslythere's a price difference but can't undestand why its so low in price?

Sorry for this intrusion,Rick.

[i2i]

looks the same, it's from the far east, that's why it's cheap.

Any light at the end of the tunnel yet,Rick? :whistling:
