(just a bit of feedback for Lee, when someone wants to create a new thread...wouldn't it be a bit more logical to have the button placed at the top? - I had to have a hunt about for it)
I'll probably be importing my next machine from Redsail....and cos I'm lazy, I'll ask then to prefit home switches.
Now I realise a machines's home location can be anywhere you want it to be, but is their a common approach? Here's what I'd like....
My thinking here, is I normally mount the stock at the front of the table (as there it's just better to get a view of things, get access to things etc), therefore I don't really want homing to take ages (shuttling all the way to other axis extremity) & since the spindle is already gonna be doing its thing somewhere near the front of the table during its cutting cycle, homing will be quickest where my arrow is)
So would it be a reasonable request to ask the factory to fit homing switches to make the home point where my arrow is?
