    Hi, I am a little confused on my X limit switch and what side to mount it too. From my reasearch it looks like it would go on the left side facing front. I want to be able to use it for homing capabilities. I am gonna attach a pic. The white circles are where I mounted my Y and Z limit switches. Please let me know what side for X switch. Thank You.

    Literally anywhere! Read through gnea/grbl to understand why
    (Machine Coordinate system is set by Homing. Work coordinate system is set as an Offset from Machine Coordinates. So it doesnt really matter, you'll set work coordinates relative to stock, not relative to machine most of the time)

    Thank you again Peter. I am not used to building a machine of this caliber. I am almost done. My previous hobby was lighting controllers and using an open source software. This is far from that, but I am having fun so far. I Just don't want to screw up. You have been a tremendous amount of help to me. Thank you!
