Hello Emmanuel If I understand your question about the stops. If you use your machine by the use of your hand cranking, the stops work pretty well, If you are using a motor to drive your machine, then you need something else, Like a limit switch to stop the motor. the stops will not or should not be used when you are using a motor to drive your machine. If you are using the motor drive that Legacy sold, they use two limit switches for there stops. If you are making your own motor drive you need to make your own limit switch to stop your motor. I made my own. Here are a few pix. of what I did. Inline image C.A.G.

I am afraid that if I use stops (locking shaft collar or other kind of improved stops system) to stop the carriage move, is there a risk I damage the split knut mount which is PLASTIC made on the x axis lead screw or even worse damage the engine ?! It seems that stops are good only if you do not using engine, right? So what about stops is you run the engine on the x axis scew?
