Hi all, I am trying to wrap my head around limit switches for my Grizzly G4000 lathe that I have converted to CNC.
The X limit switches are not a major problem. They always goes to the same spot. I have the X+ switch mounted. Figuring out where to mount the X- switch so it doesn’t interfere with anything else is a little tricky. I am having trouble figuring out the placement of the Z limit switch or switches. I can mount the Z+ limit switch on an adjustable mount on the ways down by the tailstock or even on the tailstock itself. But having a limit switch that is moveable seems problematic for configuration. The Z- limit switch could be attached to a moveable mount on the ways down by the head but it seems that it might be desirable to have the limit set to keep the cross-feed from running into whatever chuck is mounted. I have a 3” 4-jaw, a 4” 3-jaw, a 5” 3-jaw and a 5” 4-jaw. So I might need a different config for every chuck. What do you guys think.
