Mark, If you are using the axis interface these work very well. (from a previous post) I have three BOURNS ecw1j-b24-ac0024 encoders I am using for feed over ride, speed over ride and axis jog. I haven't configured the speed over ride yet. They may not be the most robust encoders but they were cheap. :) The latest configuration files on www.mpm1.com:8080
