Re: Sherline encoder
Manufacturer/part number for the encoder and we can give you some help. If it's an RS422 differential quadrature encoder of at least 1000 lines, it should work fine.
Cheers,
Tom
Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

Re: Sherline encoder
As Tom mentioned, it must be a standard line driver differential encoder to be compatible with Acorn.
They can be fairly inexpensive. Need information on your encoder, make/model number/cut sheet. PIcture of it on your machine would be helpful and how it is interfaced with the lathe spindle.

Re: Sherline encoder
Doesn't Franco have a Sherline chucker/Acorn lathe. He could tell you what he did.
