    Floating head switch

    Building a floating head Z axis for mounting Plasma.

    When wiring the micro switch. Do I use the NO or NC contacts for signal when torch touches off on the surface of the sheet being cut.



    Edit Note: Tom answered my question on the CandCNC help board......

    NO or the same as all other home switches.
    If it works.....Don't fix it!
