Re: ShopTalk: History of Frequency

[Bernie Baymiller]

Lloyd,   > Frequency is the most accurate measure of shaft flexural performance.   I guess it depends on what you are using the frequency to do. My Neufinder 2 measures shaft deflection in .000, and gets repeatable readings within .002...about half a cpm, if Dan did his math correctly. In addition, the NF2 takes all readings automatically on the weakest plane (NBP). To do that with a frequency meter, you have to put it in a spinefinder first and mark the NBP accurately....or check the frequency all around the shaft to locate the NBP. That's a lot of clamping and unclamping...certainly not automatic.  No, the NF2 is not a timing device, but it will do as good or a better job matching the shafts in a set than a frequency analyzer. And, it will do it a lot faster.   Bernie Writeto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   Bernie Writeto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   Bernie Writeto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
