Just out of curiosity, is the labelling correct in your picture of the pendent (see http://www.franksworkshop.com.au/CNC/LathePendant/pendant-front.jpg)? Maybe this is just another case of things being reversed in the Southern Hemisphere, but the button with the icon I associate with "pause" is labelled "Run" in the picture and the button with the icon I associate with "run" is labelled ""Pause". If I'm right, it can be your shout if I ever get back to Oz. Regards, Kent ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
