So down at the McGrew camp this past May, I purchased a "bumpbar" (remote keyboard) from KRC. Shopbot now offers them for sale. At the camp, there was just the program and overlay for the keypad for the Camaster CNC. Now the Shopbot program and overlay is available.

Just finally had the time to set it up (its quite simple) and try it out today. You can move the XYZ around, step in fine and very fine mode (50 thou and 3 thou increments), do the XY zero routine, Z zero routine, start and stop programs.

This will be very, very nice when setting up bits, and now being able to be in front of the cutter rather than going back and forth from the computer keyboard.

Just thought I'd pass the info along in case other might want to get one.
