Go to www.tigerdirect.com and look for a product called x keys. its a
keyboard emulator which you can program a string of commands and assign it
to one key so that every time you press that key you get the resulting key
string saved to that key.

so in other words, you can put this x-keys kybd in learn mode, do a manual x
axis move of say 0.1" and then save that to one key. every time you push
that key you get a move in x of 0.1"

there are 2 versions of this keypad, one is larger than the other.

Also, look at www.hagstromelectronics.com for a similar product that you can
use with switches or keypads of your choice.

Hope this helps
