Sure. Because the velocity feedback granularity would be (inversely)
proportional to the encoder resolution, you'd want the highest res
encoder possible. Or,

I plan to use spindle speed control in my part programs. I also would
like to use the best spindle gear selection for the proper cutting speed
and to best utilize the horsepower I have available. If my part program
sets a spindle speed of 500RPM, how will EMC2 handle it if I'm in a gear
where
