Description
I designed this to work with my AvidCNC Benchtop Pro 24 x 24, but it should work on any Benchtop Pro machine, either 24 or 36", unless they change the aluminum X axis gantry plates.
I have my CNC in the middle of my shop with access on all sides, but I was worried about bumping against the right side prox switch and breaking it, so I designed a simple attachment to fix this. I am sharing here a revised version that adds a chip guard to prevent a random aluminum chip from tripping the sensor, as this happened to me several times when machining metals.
Secures to the CNC with two M8 x 16 or M8 x 20 flathead screws in existing holes.
