I have one on my machine and I love it. It's a little stiffer than I remember, but that's probably because it hasn't been beaten to death like most of the sticks on the old machines. The shaft is not very long so if your putting it on a wood control panel you'll definately have some routering to do. When you order it Happs may tell you that it's not long enough for a wood panel but it will definately work as long as you router properly. See ya.
