That's what I figured, when I first built the machine I thought why would I need a remote when the machine is so small. After getting it up and running and not even running any parts, I realized really quick how useful it would be when I was trying to troubleshoot the binding as well as installing my limit sensors. It would have made a lot of things easier.
Now that I'm actually cutting parts, I realized that my eyes aren't as good as I thought they were. I can't wait to get the Pendant!! Super excited to use it for the projects I'm getting ready to run. I'm going to wait to do them even though the cad cam is done and I have the material.
Is your pendant similar to the one I'm getting? The mach ones I've seen look almost the same, but apparently they are programmed differently. Kind of a bummer since the Centroid one is twice as much as some of the mach ones I've seen. Either way I hope it works good since it's going to be very handy.
