My apologies, just a little confused here. Are you saying to wire the homing micro-switches from the Z-axis and the X-axis into ...

Dan, there’s a wiring diagram in the Acorn schematics that shows you exactly how to wire up a single, n/c limit switch per axis in series. Then you setup software limits for max travel. Works perfect every time. Save your self the aggravation and remove all those unnecessary switches and wiring ...

Yes, that would be a great idea! Allows me to have spare micro-switches as well.

I need to implement a hard limit via a switch to shut down the lathe to prevent breakage. Hope this helps explain the ...

I have the relay wired so that one leg of the 120V ...
