Lol, no mate. 24v on/off switch, reset, e-stop, limit override and feedhold buttons should all be on the machine control panel.
I added a lamp on the contactor as I've been caught out a few times at work when e-stop buttons have accidently been pressed while a machine was powered off. Then i've gone round checking guards and fuses before i've realised why there was no life in the machine when I switched it on :/

A bit like you I've been working on the control panel before the machine. I've no idea what the temps will be inside the panel during use. I didn't really have space for both fans on the bottom gland plate. I figured the one at the top should help evacuate warm air from the drivers' heatsinks, hopefully it will also prevent dust settling on top of the vent/filter during use too.
