Many thanks gents.
Unfortunately, even though the RT could now be used with a CNC set up, this is about as far as I will go down that route. It is now giving me easy control over a problem tool issue that I had. I am sure that there will be some things that it can't do, hence the fall back to fitting the handle if needed, and in the future, there will be a thin vernier scale fitted behind the handle for when it does have to go manual.
John S,
Many thanks for that. I did know something about that feature, but it hasn't of yet been inwardly digested. I am just picking thru the manual learning the major basic bits first. But I will do, when I get the box mounted up on the side of the mill head, in a better programming and use position.
I have to take things slowly nowadays, otherwise my single brain cell can't absorb it all. In fact six months ago, this project would have been a definite no-no. New meds can take a lot of getting used to, and do limit your capabilities more than you realise.
I could hardly have a decent conversation when they first started, lots of blank seconds while I tried to think of the right words, but look at me now, I have got to the stage where I can count both my fingers AND my toes, and I can order a curry or chinese, with delivery, over the phone. What more can you want out of life.

BTW Peter, I fitted a new half round file to the die filer last night, and did a bit of trimming up on a nicely cast bronze flywheel.
