00:00Hashtag top 5 momentary limit switches for CNC mills.
00:04What's up guys, so if you've been wiring up a CNC mill or upgrading your home shop setup,
00:09you know limit switches are one of those small parts that can save you from a really expensive
00:13crash. I spent way too long digging through listings so you don't have to, and I pulled
00:18together the 5 best momentary limit switches you can grab right now without destroying your wallet.
00:23Let's get into it.
00:25Alright, kicking things off at number 5 we've got the AZ-7 and TZ-7 series waterproof micro switches.
00:32These things are rated at 10 amps, 250 volts AC, which is plenty beefy for any CNC limit switch
00:38application. The big deal here is the waterproof housing, if your mill throws coolant around or
00:44you're in a humid garage shop, these won't let you down. You can pick between straight lever and 90
00:49roller lever styles depending on how your axes are set up. Almost 5,000 sold with a 4.8 star
00:56rating,
00:57and they're only $1.13 each. That's basically disposable pricing for a solid switch.
01:03Number 4 is the V15 series 10-pack, and honestly this is the one I'd tell most people to just
01:08grab
01:09first. You get 10 switches for $5.62, so you've got spares for days. They come in every lever
01:16configuration you could want, short lever, long roller, simulated roller, you name it.
01:21They're SPDT with one normally open and one normally closed contact, which gives you wiring
01:26flexibility whether your controller wants active high or active low signals. Perfect 5-star rating
01:32across nearly 4,700 sales. That doesn't happen by accident, these are just reliable little switches
01:39that work. Coming in at number 3, we've got what's essentially the same V15 series family but sold in
01:45smaller packs of 1 or 5 pieces, rated at a beefier 16 amps at 250 volts AC. So if you
01:52only need a few
01:52and you want that higher current rating as a safety margin, this is your pick. They're SPDT, 3-pin,
01:59one normally open and one normally closed, same proven microswitch design. For bucks and 16 cents,
02:054.9 stars, over 4,600 sold. Grab these if you want a little extra headroom on the electrical
02:12specs without buying 10 switches you might not need yet. Number 2 is where things get more serious,
02:18the Mi 8 series. These are full-size industrial limit switches with rotary adjustable roller lever
02:24arms, and they just feel like a different class of product in your hand. The adjustable arm is the
02:29killer feature here because you can fine-tune exactly where your axis triggers the switch without
02:34shimming or repositioning the whole mount. Rated for 250 volts AC with both normally open and
02:40normally closed contacts. Three bucks and seven cents, almost 4,000 sold, 4.8 stars.
02:47If your building is sturdy or mill or you want something that looks and feels professional on
02:51your machine, these are the move. Alright folks, all five of these switches are linked down in the
02:57description so you can grab whichever one fits your build. If this helped you out, smash that like
