you can make a encoder using a teensy they have a special library for it and keyboard and mouse emulation as well, or just get a pokeys board they are made for that sort of thing it would make life easier,
there are a tonne of ways to do what you want.
the easiest is with a modbus type system, PLC, pokeys or even easier a pendant, if you want to future proof your setup a  contour Shuttle Pro v, vistacnc, xbox360 joystick or number pad are working pendants with M3 and M4 at this time and the pokeys pendant with a pokeys board is the same in M3 or M4
it down to your budget

all 32u4 boards do, it just not that simple to use that`s why I use tennsy boards cheaper, faster, better code, and very small

if you wont to do lots of aluminum cutting get the coated cutters they last alot longer and you can go very fast with them, they cost more but it is offset by how much faster you can push them and how much longer they last.
they are what I use I have never had one break or clog

robertspark you can use a arduino to make a pendant you can do it through modbus or keyboard emulation sinces you can assign any key to do whatever you wont in M4. a better option is a tennsy 3.2 or LT they have native support for keyboards or mouse and the liburys for it run a lot faster than the Arduino one`s. I have one for my wheelchair mouse.
