Good idea; I've got one on my miller. It reads up to 200kph, rather than the usual 100kph, so can measure up to 2000 rpm. In fact, it seems to read up to at least 250kph, but I don't know if it is reliable at that speed. I set it to read kph rather than mph, using a wheel circumference of 1667mm (65"). It will also read direct in RPM, but only displays that in tiny figures.

It calls itself the ASIIG, if you want to see if you can find one like it.

Gadget:
I finished making the fly cutter and cast the angle plate yesterday. Today I started finishing the angle plate using the new fly cutter on the Gingery mill. I still have one side to finish but once that's cut it has to stay on the mill without moving until I finish the new table on it so I took some photos as it is now.
When I get ready to finish the final side I will take a short video of the mill in action.
