Since it'll rotate left and right, I wouldn't be able to use the cheapo homeing lever switch I use now for my x, y, and z since as it would run over it. I've thought about a detachable hard stop but I'm sure something much better has been done.
    Oh geez FandZ. What are you getting into now?

    Just kidding. Can't wait to see what you are up to.

    I think it's the natural progression of building a cnc. But you know me, always looking for new ways to use up this stock pile of skate bearings I have left over.
