Turns out that when I was trying to make the encoder wheel out of alu, I was using a 1/16" mill and 39 slots was all I could get to fit. That figure got welded into my brain because I only made about 10 of them. But when I gave up on that after having obtained some smaller mills for pcb's, and made the last one out of brass, I had changed the number of cycles in that code to 50 because I now had a narrower slot. And just promptly forgot it. That faint banging from the general direction of north central WV? Me, beating head on shop door. I think (I hope anyway) it will feel good when I stop. So go cut a switch & give me fifty virtual lashes for wasting your time. Now I need to figure out a way to hit the home switch with x, and get the same radius cut regardless of the tool, since I am in fact measuring the mounted tool. And I seem to be getting about a .020" offset between the two tools I have checked so far. Oh, and I'll need wade thru the .hal file and recalibrate the spindle tachometer display. Minor detail.
