I think that's a great idea. I wouldn't even mind wearing a whole life vest,
with a little cord strapped to an E-Stop panel while at my machine :) I
could have used it today, while foolishly using the same variable for 'start
depth of cut,' and 'clearance height.' I was being lazy.
When I got fed up with my depth increments, and reloaded a slightly modified
file that started at the depth it had gotten to when I stopped it. As that
depth was also clearance, it 'backed off' to still well within the part, and
flew off toward the beginning of the cut. That part had a lot of steps done
to it already, in the lathe, and mill. Sigh...
