Knuth WF1-CNC Mill Retrofit

Hi,

I'm Reiko from Germany. Almost a year ago, I bought an old Knuth WF1 CNC milling machine. After disassembling it, cleaning it thoroughly, and repairing faulty parts, I brought it back to life using an Acorn controller.

Here are a few pictures of the retrofit.

Re: Limit Switch for homing

Hi Uwe,

yes you do. I know the method do you have described. Let me ask in a different way.

Can i use the same row of switches for both functions, homing and hardware limit?

Regards Reiko

Limit Switch for homing

Hi,


I am retrofit a Knuth WF1 CNC Mill with a Acorn Controller. I have limit switches on all axis in plus and minus direction they a all wired in series.
Can I use them also for homing the machine or do i need a separate row switches?
