I want to be able to do threading on my cnc converted lathe. US Digital doesn't seem to make any encoder wheels of sufficient diameter to mount on the spindle, does this mean that I will have to either belt drive an encoder from the spindle or make my own encoder?
I have some HP 256 count encoders but they don't have an index. Can I use a single pulse wheel that is mounted on my lathe spindle with an optical switch (functions as a tach) as the source of the index signal?
