CSS is generally a lathe only function, and needs a controllable spindle as it will vary the spindle speed upward as the workpiece gets smaller. I've tried it a few times on my toy 7x12 but usually run out of spindle rpms obtainable at the size of the stuff I play with, like a new nipple for one of my BP rifles. That starts with 1/2" stock. I am presently geared for about 1500 revs top. When I get the lathe back up and running, I need to get a stick of 1/2" SS as it won't corrode so fast. Todays shotgun primers leave nasty stuff behind. IIRC You were working on a spindle encoder a while back, did you get it working? Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
