Description
This is a set of button boxes for use on large CNC machines for emergency stop (E-STOP) applications.
The spindle control is for passing through power to a router, so it has a power switch and an easily press-able emergency stop. The two other boxes go back to the PC and are used to stop motion on the X, Y & Z axes.
The electronic parts are all available from Altronics in Australia, but I'm sure other vendors have compatible stuff. Check their datasheets to see if the mountings are the same or just delete and add a new one.
S3228 - Rocker switch , Neon. (27.5mm by 13.6mm square mounting)
S0820 - E-stop buttons, (16mm dia hole.)
P8241 - GPO outlet, flush mountable. (most of a 33.5 mm dia circular hole and 4.5mm dia offset hole)
The box designs came from here. Check it out, well worth the $12.

Instructions
Make sure the powers and colours of everything are set correctly. The innermost hole for each component is the hole for mounting, some things have engraved lines to indicate the size of the installed part.
I used a 40W laser and 3mm MDF for this job. Cutting was done at 10mm/sec and 45% power. Vector engraving was done at 60mm/sec and 10% power.
The text was coloured in by hand later using a small red sharpie. It came out quite well, I think I'll use the effect in the future.
