I am starting a build on a g0704 grizzly.I have been on back order now sence january 05 2011.That aside,I have started my control cabinet.I am using the Hoss heavy duty system.My question today is,limit switches?Do I need separate limit and home switches or can I get by with one set on each axis?i plan to use prox switches insted of mech type switches.Once I get my cabinet started I will post photos.1 more question is Breakers or fuses,and where in the line should they be ?I KNOW i NEED 2 FOR THE 120 VAC coming in the panel.But do I need one to protect each of the drives.I am new to wire designing so please do your best to put up with my lack of knowledge.Thanks Dave. P.S. IF IT IS BREAKERS i WILL BE USING A DIN RAIL IN MY BOX.

You can use 1 switch at the center of each axis to double as a home switch and limits for both ends of travel.
The X can be mounted on the saddle with the table stops used for triggers.
The Y can be mounted on the base with triggers mounted on each end of the saddle.
The Z switch can be mounted on the Z slide with triggers mounted on the column.
Don't put fuses or breakers in the stepper driver circuits, especially between the motors and drivers, it's not a recommended practice.
I'm using a 10 A breaker for the spindle motor to replace the stock fuse holder.
