My milling machine conversion is comming on well, although I have experience of manual control machines I have very little CNC experience
I am in the process of making the front panel control and would like some advise on what hardware buttons should be on the wish list.
With my lack of CNC running experience, and a limited number of inputs and outputs available, I would like some ideas from othe users what they consider to be "must have" or "would be nice to have" as hardware buttons / control
I am hoping to use the original MPEG wheel and mount it on the consule too, my list may look some thing like this
E-Stop
jog +
jog -
single step
axes selector
feed overide
spindle overide
coolant overide
machine hold
have I missed anything that may be useful, or have I included anything that may not be of much benefit as a hardware button
I would really appreciate some input / advise from users with more experience than I have
Thanks
