RE:Re: re:hand jive

Wally,

Don't let me or others confuse you. It's YOUR machine! If handwheels
make you feel good, by all means include them. Use Jon's post as a
guide(belt drive; a good thing. And use some type of wheels that
don't present a safety hazard when they're NOT used).

Read my post to smoke in this thread. The main point I wanted to put
in the thread is that "handwheels" are still there. Like all matter,
only their form has been changed.

Hope this helps.

P.S. The "feel" part you refer to is REAL. This is one reason it
takes a good machinist to get really good results from CNC; He/She
knows feeds/speeds/materials!

What you may find as you USE the machine is that, like the blind man,
your OTHER senses "step up" to "replace" your sense of touch.
