Looks like we're all largely saying the same things now.

This also answers your "Stop Button" option.! . .Pressing stop will only stop the machine and other attached devices in a semi controlled manner but it won't be controlled and can't reliably be resumed from without first homing the machine to get back into position.

For the non-emergency stop button, you could just wire it to an input set to activate the feed hold, so the machine does in a controlled manner. It's still likely to leave a mark on the work, but prevent something worse.

Didn't see your post until after I'd posted that.

Erm.!! . . . Well that would just be a Feed hold so why not Call it Feed Hold.??
