It's just not worth the headache to make it work. There is almost no lag due to wireless.

The only time there is lag or intermitant issues is because of antenna placment. Position it that there is clear line of sight and there is no problem. Wireless is the way to go.

i was kind of peeved when i found out you couldnt use 3rd party pendants. This is the downside of a proprietary ecosystem

honestly though, after using the WMPG for 6 months, I can say with 100% certainty that it is worth it and will be one of the better purchases you can make for your mill/lathe

especially when probing, being able to stick your nose right in the action while jogging saves so much time and busted probe tips. 3-4 busted probe tips pays for the WMPG

THanks for all the good advice. I will start saving my pennies for a centroid MPG!

I placed an order for my second WMPG today, swapping from lathe to mill is easy, but if you want to have both running at the same time, way better with 2 WMPGs and I use them for 90% of controlling the machines.
