Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Pendant

What is a "pendant"? It's kind of hard to visualize using one if you don't
know what it is.
if it is (as I guess) a device for manually contolling the various axis, I
might be able too use it, since all the multiple axis on my new machine
don't really HAVE to be controlled by CNC software.
