Has anyone put a lower limit switch on their momus z-axis? I have a nice spot for the z-axis upper switch, the switch that limits how high the stepper motor can raise the router, but I am having a...
I have certainly broke my fair share of endmills on my schools Haas cnc... fun is not how I would describe that feeling when you see that end mill snap off on your workpiece more like terrifying :0
Quick update. I have finished most of the wiring and was able to successfully test all 3 axis. I still have to wire the emergency stop and the axis limit switches. Whenever I get that done I...

Small update. Before I installed the electronics I pulled...
Thanks for the solid advice JohnZ! I went with what you suggested, I had similar logic. I ordered the ESS too, its seems like a pretty solid solution to not having a parallel port on my computer. ...
So now that I have caught everyone up I am looking for some good stepper motors, drivers, and breakout board to buy. I am however on a pretty tight budget at the moment. My goal is to have enough...
