The resolution is determined by the number of teeth on the gear that is being sensed by the two Hall effect sensors in that integrated Honeywell sensor. For example, if you had a 100 tooth gear, you'd have 400 quadrature state changes per revolution. A spindle speed sensor doesn't really need much resolution.
As others have stated, there is no index pulse, so you'd need to add that for a spindle encoder if you wanted rigid tapping, but if you only wanted a spindle speed indicator, this should do the trick. The sensor looks very durable, mechanically. Two discrete Hall effect sensors that we'd bend around until they were in a quadrature generating alignment would be cheaper, but not nearly as durable. It also looks like Honeywell put enough electronics in there to provide some much better noise immunity than discrete Hall effect sensors would probably have.
