I started to add a tacho readout on my 9*20...Here's a shot of the interruptor disc I made and the opto coupler that I'm using
-
Heres a piccy of the disc after being made on my mill..
Its about 65mm in dia and has 20 slots 6mm wide iirc...
-
Thats an interesting indexing set up John, is it home made ?.
Nice neat bit of maching by the way :thumbup:

I have some little bits lying around somewhere that look just like that optical doofor and a 9x20 :)

Stew,
Yes it is home made form a design by Harold Hall in his book 'Milling a complete course'
I used a 60 tooth change wheel from the lather gear set to divide to 20 slots to get the accuracy..Worked rather well I must say :thumbup:

I thought it looked familiar I've got that book also, very informative read. :coffee:

John,
Really like that indexing setup. I've got one under construction using the head stock from an old South Bend lathe. Have a thread going here: http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=692.0
Just don't know when I'll ever get it done though. To much :proj: to even think about it. :)
Regards,
Bernd
