OK, this ought to give anyone a laugh that has every wrestled with limit and estop switches....
On my little three-axis minimill I added some parts to the end of the y-axis as part of a rolling cover that I'm trying to make. So after I do this, I'm jogging the machine back and forth, admiring the cleverness of my little addition, when all of a sudden... bang!!...an added piece of aluminum angle runs right into my big, red estop switch that sticks out of the machine near the end of the x axis- shutting off the machine automagically!!! I had to remove a bunch of parts that I added just to get the switch closed again to get power back to the machine! <sigh> ....................
