Good morning,

This morning I was going over the documentation for the Acorn controller to see how I could incorporate Feed and Speed override control switches of some sort. Having been working with industrial controls for 40 plus years, I like my manual switches.

I saw two things on the wireless MPG brochure that puzzled me and I never paid any attention to - SPIN and FEED. As I am sure everyone else already knows, those setting allow you to override speed and feed - and it works wonderfully smooth! I guess when I bought it, I was only looking for MPG functionality and have been using as such for the last few years.

Another awesome feature in this amazingly good control - thanks guys!
