I have a serious amount of work coming up that needs tapping. I've been doing some of that on the minimill, but that machine really is not optimal for some of these parts.
I had a single gear-tooth sensor on the Bridgeport that fed a ratemeter module, so I had a spindle tach. It worked, and eventually I got the idea I could expand the idea into a quadrature encoder with index pulse.
