Hi, driftspin
Yes a touch display will help and a MPG controller and a few buttons, but with the same cost (add a pc windows licence uccnc board and licence, mouse keyboard...) I think it's possible get some "industrial controller" from China.
I have 3 machines with uccnc, working fine.
I just like to try an controller like I have in vmc's.. Nothing so fancy like haas controller or simenes, an LNC or something.. Lololol
