while at the computer might as well wright 2 topics!
i own a shuttle pro to run my lathe and find it is the best addition i made to it. it has every function that i need for efficient control and positioning but it is not made for the toolroom where coolant and hot chips is the norm.
do you know of a pendant that would be available with similar fonctionality to the shuttle pro, especialy the dual wheel action, but with a more rugged housing suitable for a machine shop?

I've yet to really see anything like a Shuttle Pro that can put up with chips and coolant.
Here's a website where a fella puts his shuttle pro into another pendant housing so maybe it can help you figure out a way to make a coolant/chip proof housing.

If you come up with anything, I'm sure some of us would like to hear it.
