I used an old wall wart, and hooked it to the leads off the E-stop button.  Comes on when the E-stop is lifted, goes off when I shut everything down.  I also used the BMW angel eyes LED, as recommended over on madmodder or HMEM (I forgot which one).

I've been planning on adding an outlet and second switch to the mill so I can plug the wall wart into the outlet and have a separate switch for it. There's enough to the ring that I'll be able to mill a square in the bottom for a DC jack. I hate to use a 2A wall wart for something that only draws 230MA.

Funny you should mention HMEM. I was reading the thread on the rotary table Rod did and somewhere near the end he made one out of aluminum. I didn't need an offset slot for the ring so I just did it on the lathe.

Mayhem: Pic coming soon! I did the set screw last nite so it's just wire and install. Just need to measure the plug on the wall wart first.
