Small mill limit home both??

One on each axis is enough and then you can set up the travel limits in the wizard. Very easy to do with less wiring and less parts.

You can put one limit switch on each axis and go with that. You don't "need" switches on each end of the axis. Soft limits will "generally" provide what you need.
