Since you're convinced you want a quadrature encoder now, here's a link: :)
<http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail?name=GH6102-ND> I've used these before, and they're good, robust controls. They have detents (pretty good clicky ones), and the switch is also a pushbutton with a separate contact pair. They're good for setting something like spindle speed or FO, but probably not for something like a jogwheel (only32 counts per rev). At $20 each (probably less at non-DK distributors), I think they're a good deal. - Steve Kirk Wallace wrote: >I am looking into adding a knob for setting spindle speed manually.
