Unless the belt connecting the servo to the spindle is some sort of timing belt, I would be leary about peck tapping. V-belt drives do slip and will make the index pulse unreliable.

The best option is to attach the encoder directly to the spindle.

I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.
