Re: Bridgeport Spindle Encoder Design

Im so sick of manual tapping. Your video inspired me to give this a shot. I've got a good used bearing carrier, and a worn worm gear coming so I can machine the bearing carrier, encoder mount, and split collar. That way I can mock everything up before I take apart my head.

Re: Weird Issue with Intercon Lathe and F/R

Well Crap...... :? I think I figured out what was going wrong. Apparently feeding at 10 inches per revolution is sending the controller into a fit. I forgot to change that in Intercon when switching over from feed per minute to feed per revolution. I only noticed that when I saw what I was doing on ...
