That unit does look nice. But the wireless thing scares me a bit. Someone test one of those out on a small machine. :-)
I did get a Pendant from this chinese supplier: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-CNC-4-Axis-Pendant-MPG-Handwheel-Emergency-stop-Switch-controller-/281117912050? The total bill was $92 including shipping from Hong Kong and I got it in less than 2 weeks. The unit looks to be of decent quality. The MPG has a good feel and it does not feel cheap. The coil cord is like a small rubber SO cord with flying leads and of decent quality. Time will tell how it holds up. For $92 I would say it is a very good deal. I would not hesitate to buy another unit from this seller. Dave Cole On 6/23/2013 9:19 AM, Pete Matos wrote: > Wow that looks like a really nice unit man....
