Alternate explanation: Mike Downs had a couple too many on Sep26th and drunk-posted. And the boys from LS have been frantically engineering an amazing solution ever since. 
Hang in there folks!

Well I stand corrected I was wrong
Could you point to a source for that definition? Mine is different but if yours is a generally accepted one I’ll have to change mine.
In early startup companies I usually look at “coming soon” meaning 6 months or so. For the real new ones (pre-release or crowd funded) I figure they intend it to be within a year but it’s likely 18-24 months 
The speculation is always entertaining .
Folks we have the parts for these kits now! We are finalizing our packaging and instructions and hope to have the kit ready for purchase very soon !

I’m still sticking to my “tequila was involved” theory.

This was never mentioned in 2020. The post you are referencing is September 20th, not September 2020.

2-3 weeks is not anywhere in that post you showed. It says 3-4 weeks and that was posted on September 26th of this year.
Hey Mike? Is there a doc somewhere that spells out the features and capabilities of this mod? (do I still get the full cutting area I currently enjoy etc.?)
Apparently I was wrong - when I scrolled back and looked at the dates again - I see I was wrong and thought this announcement was from two years ago - I am man enough to say it lol - I was wrong - Hats off to Langmuir for showing me the light lol

keith,
Even if this not the true reason… I will stand beside you as well (and hold your hair back if needed). It’s the most fun reason!

OMG… !! Laughed out loud!! Thanks. I needed that tonight…! 
I just got my hands on the limit switch kit for the purpose of making an installation guide, which should be ready by Friday of next week at the latest.
Installing the limit switches takes about a millimeter off of the total travel area, maybe a millimeter and a half. This is because, by definition, the limit switches need to be installed before the travel limits.
There’s a video on our Instagram (linked below) that shows exactly where the limit switches are installed. This video should give you an idea of how small of a distance you’d be losing in the travel area by installing the limit switches.

Awesome! I was concerned about that as well s “runaway” but, thinking on it, I haven’t had any of those for the last couple of versions. Keep it up y’all!
I like the idea of a know home position but what improvement would this be making to the machine? Just asking, not hating on the idea.
The main benefit I see. Say you forget to set your zero the hit start it would stop you from hitting hard stops before you can stop it. Other than that just keeping you from hitting the hard stops. I am sure there are other uses those are the main benefits I see anyway.

One of the major benefits, other than preventing the machine from crashing, is the ability to have a consistent machine zero. In the event of a misfire or some other error, this allows you to more easily run a program from a specific line with the assurance that the torch will return to the correct spot without you needing to manually align it, so long as the piece you were cutting didn’t move during or after the error.

Appreciated. The thing is…you guys have your own website(s). Why should we have to go to Instagram to see videos of your products?
