Of course, you have to have an encoder on the spindle. And, you have to provide a way to feed this encoder information back to the computer. We first demonstrated this capability at the 2006 CNC Workshop. I demoed my mini-mill pretending to be a lathe at the 2007 NAMES show last month. I had some strange driver/interface problems that are now fixed, and it works like a charm.
I have a set of config files on my web site that show how to do this using my universal PWM controller : http://jelinux.pico-systems.com/codes/univpwmthread/ Without that hardware, you would need to assign parallel port pins for the encoder input and use the software encoder HAL component.
