Hi All,

Just an Idea for anyone building a manual jog control box.  You may want 
to include an E-stop button (Panic switch) just for good measure.  All 
commercial machines that I have run with remote controls whether pendant 
or hand held had one.  It's very easy to set the wrong increment and 
have the machine try to move 1.0" rather than the 0.1" that was 
intended.  Also good to have in the event of a malfunction in a jog 
switch that may not release or auto center, keeping motion going.  OUCH!!
