OK. If you are used to haviing the STOP button at the right end, then do it that way. My way was the generic way, generally best for the general public. Just put the JOG REV switch under the REVERSE button.
The Atlas 3900 Series (less the 6" 3950) did come out after Atlas bought Clausing. The only major change from the previous models besides a general increase of weight was moving the tailstock lock from the front to the rear of the tailstock. A lot of owners dislike that but it never bothered me. The only other change of significance was that they kept the Atlas part numbers of all parts carried over from the previous models, which was good. But all new parts, starting with the bed, got Clausing type part numbers, which was decidedly bad. Clausing's part numbering system was one of the poorest I have seen.
