I had the opposite impression. I thought the Jog It looked a bit home made, but very rugged. In one of the videos, when the Jog It is placed onto a table, it made a substantial WHACK that sounded like a solid block. Another video shows one being run over by a car and presumably surviving. It's reported to be coolant resistant, but it looks like it wouldn't take much effort to make it coolant proof. I ordered a pair of them, even though I don't have a Tormach so I think the pendant would look better in black instead of white. Partly, I just wanted to support anyone who is marketing a plug-N-play device for LinuxCNC. That it's an open source plug-N-play device for LinuxCNC is a bonus. BTW - The Q&A on the KickStarter features the guy who is selling the Jog It saying that part of the reason he developed it was because he found the lower cost Chinese MPG pendants to be too fragile and, well, basically cheap. Let go of the spring return jog wheel and the machine motion continues. That sort of thing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
