PM728 CNC Conversion Part 6: Installing Homing Switches

Today we're designing and installing homing/limit switches on the PM-728VT milling machine as a part of our CNC conversion. We'll 3D print some parts, and have some brackets laser cut and powdercoated, put it all together, and get it running end-to-end.
