Here's a simple replacement part question. Does anyone have a suggestion for a replacement for the Z limit switches, the ones on the quill drive behind the motor switch panel?
I'm running a BOSS 6 with a Centroid control conversion, and recently it as been faulting out during heavy cuts with a +Z Limit exceeded warning. Jumpering around the switch, which is normally closed, solves the problem, which must be contact bounce, or dirty or burned contacts. It doesn't look like these switches come apart for service.
The switch appears to be the functional equivalent of a standard short arm roller snap switch, but the ones on the machine seem to have an auxiliary spring and a keeper to prevent the roller from swinging out too far. All I am finding in the McMaster, Grainger, and MSC catalogs don't have the keeper. In addition, both Grainger and MSC only sell Omron brand, which in the past has proven to be light duty junk. McMaster's brand is, as always, not specified in the catalog.
Anyone have a suggestion, part number, source?
