i made a quick video of using xbox controller to set up my machine today, in it
you can see the distances im working at.
it was used to match a grain pattern in a veneered 2 piece table top i had to
machine, also shows how i can set my a axis 18 feet away from where the dongle
is sited (on top of the control box)
and yes my workshop is a mess!
also shows estop kick rope which if im by machine my shin is always close to
should anything happen!
