    For my next control panel, I'll probably only go for the following-
    Power switch
    E-Stop
    Cycle Start*
    Feedhold*
    SSO
    FRO
    MPG

    Everything else I'll do on a touch screen.
    The last panel I built for my mill, I added axis and step size rotary selection switches to go with the MPG, but doing it with some buttons on a touchscreen is far simpler and be just as effective.
    However, all my machines I can reach the control panel from the working area. If I had a big machine, I'd have the MPG on a pendant for convenience.

    *Cycle Start and Feedhold you could also do with on screen buttons, but I prefer having a couple nice big buttons to hit.
