I'm late to join the party. It does not need a magnet, in fact it reads the hole that I made for the magnet perfectly well, it's about 5mm deep 10mm dia. The refresh rate is not good, when I stop the machine the readout always shows a number but when I restart it immediately gives a correct reading. I am very happy with it, terrific value for money. Be aware that it is very sensitive to the distance between the sensor and the hole. |

The light has come on --- End quote --- Haha,, my light had come on but went back out again about 3or4 posts ago :scratch:... as long as i can get it powered i'll just try it with and without a magnet... Norm, it does seem like really good value for money... thanks for all your advice gents, hopefully this will make life a little easier as i really don't have the experience of milling machines to guess with confidence how fast they are revolving ... ...M... |

Well I've ordered one for my lathe. The original motor turned out to be 4 pole after I'd already brought a 2 pole. So this will be good for working out the spindle speed. |
