But, automatic homing, even to simple switches is really helpful. It allows you to set the machine limits of travel, then when you load a G-code program, it immediately tells you that the program exceeds some axis at line # so and so. This allows you to reposition the part so it won't run out of travel in the middle of the job. Saved me time and materials a couple times when I had the part too close to the edge.
