Not sure if this question is in the correct forum, sorry if I have it in the wrong place.

I've read that stepper motors coast a bit before stopping.
My question is how far before the end of travel should I trigger the limit switch to allow room for any motor coasting.

I'm figure if I set the soft limits in Mach3 then the motors will be running slow enough before the limit switch trigger resulting in minimal coast.

How much room is everybody allowing? I was figuring that .100 should be enough. any inmput would be appreciated.
