Really a flatbed CNC is not the right tool for cutting profile even with limit switches.
There is specific profile cutting CNC machines if you’re looking to get efficiency and production.
You’d be looking at a profile cutting CNC machine like the one in this gif
This new alert from when they updated fire control for the XR left the door open for a little bit of Hope on a limit switch kit.
The “or installed crossfire limit switch kit” is the line that brings hope for the future.
Yea that looks way too expensive for what I am currently doing
I am just building parts at home for me a few buddies
I am not a business that draws in any sort of income
maybe cutting 4-12 pieces at a time
Thanks for the input though,

Sounded like you were worried about inefficiencies in the operation.
I assumed you were trying to do something a little bit more of a production level.
Using your bandsaw and drill press is a way better way of going about it if you’re just doing a few parts for buddies, not for profit.
Yea drilling .500" holes is not fun even with a decent drill press
I’d much rather have a piece of stock cut to length and a simple fixture to cut with it the touch of a button
I would think that is a reasonable ask for a CNC setup
One of those jigs like mentioned above is the best way to go about it with the pro so far.
It’s not ideal but it is an option.
With 2"*2" material you might have to remove the slats and place the tube right on the bottom of the water pan or you may run out of z-axis height
