I was in a conundrum with how to handle the jog direction and decided on this to keep the panel simple , I can set it up like that if I need. Plan is with this mock panel to use it in anger whilst I learn the lathe and tweak so it gives the optimal user experience before commiting to having the final panel printed. I haven't tapped much on lathe I made a knob the other day with an M8 Tap and did it by hand which was fine I imagine I could have used the jog on it but small taps may well be unsuitable as you say.
