Hi All
Does anyone have any experience of this kit (HK155X ) and in
particular the threads it will cut as opposed to the original Myford
box and any positives or negatives.

Spindle pickup is either a single pulse per rev from a Hall effect
sensor, photoelectric sensor, or whatever (if you use Mach 3), or
possibly a shaft encoder that will give me 2000 pulses per rev plus an
index pulse - I am going to see if I can convert my "Divisionmaster"
hardware into an electronic gearbox, and the shaft encoder looks like
the right solution for that route.
It is early days, but the Z axis is already motorised, and I can use
the Divisionmaster box for variable finefeeds in its standard form.

Tony
