I was wondering if the possibility is available to separate the

My experience in equipment is that the limit switches are part of
the E-STOP ladder and the home position is separate and that is to
prevent damage to the equipment. I would think as hobbiests we
need
the protection this would give us. If necessary I think the
activation of LPT2 is an issue to consider.

I would welcome your thoughts on or off list how we could improve
section 4.6 and appendix 4 of the Mach2MillManual. (Rev A1.8 in
Files and download from www.artofcnc.ca) I have found it hard to get
balance of risks and features here.
