I've built a number of machines and decided the cheapest way to get all the parts (my time is not free) for a dedicated engraving platform was to buy a Chinese 6040 4 axis system. It works well and I have it all working with LinuxCNC. My only issue is that I didn't get the one with the limit switches and now I kinda regret that. But I should be able to add them easy enough.

The breakout board has a header for them and the back on the control box has the cutouts. I have no idea what type of connector it uses though, any idea?

Looks like Molex KK on the board, and "CB radio" connectors on the front.

Contacts are separate. And you need a special crimping tool, so:

Is probably part of the answer.
