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.
