Re: [Emc-users] Steppers vs Servo based CNC kit for Sherline

I didn't mean that when things start to go wrong not to use the e-stop. It's kind of like 
using a circuit breaker to shut off the lights at night... when the light switch is near 
by. I guess it just depends on the results of using the e-stop vs the stop switch. And 
by all means you should have your hand on the e-stop when testing things out... so 
you don't have to look at all.
