I'm doing more work and planning to convert my 1024 to vfd control. The S and B operates with three small momentary forward, reverse, stop buttons. While I could reuse them, they are small and tend to be easily bumped when shifting the lever for the Matrix clutch. There is not enough room for three 20mm buttons. I am thinking of going to an IDEC ARN three or four position monolever switch. Up and down would be forward and reverse and right and left are both stop. The stop positions would be maintained so the lever couldn't be easily bumped and engage the lathe. The forward and reverse could be momentary or maintained although momentary might be my preference. I could also source a lever that automatically locks in the center neutral position but that feels like it could be a pain more than a gain.
Any better ideas or any flaws in the plan? I usually am full of flaws. Dave
