 		 #187327 - MEchanical limit switches
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Actually Mike, I've GOT microswitches with a repeatabilty of 1 micron, which is near enough for most purposes.

The Renishaw probe - the core component of co-ordinate measurement ALSO uses contact switching !

Here's a project which shows the technique.
