did that a few times, I think my backlash compensation is the issue.. just redid it , coming out .5mm too large on all 5 diameters. Ah, that means you havent got an offset correct somewhere, IE reset up the tool. correct.. I was doing a skin pass , then zeroing the tool. Then i realized , if i went...

You might not see that issue. fast delivery compared to the commonly used china encoder....

thank YOU !

although i think the rpm is accurate ( 1900 rpm reading on a 2200 rpm lathe ) it displays a negative.. I know I read somewhere that this can be done in the wizard.. Also that the phase wires being reversed can solve it .. Whats really odd, in order to get a reading I had to swap the common and groun...

a few things to note.. I have wired the limit switches circuit , but have no limit switches ( closed circuit ) I have the Estop wired also , but no estop.. Im running dm542T steppers, its a 2 axis lathe , and the encoder is https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EWK93KQ?ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details&th=1
