I wanted to play around with the emco with threading. It is an emco compact 5 pc completely stock.
It has a 100 line single channel encoder + index. .3kw 4.4 amps 110v spindle. The pullys where set to the lowest rpm as threading a 3/4 - 10 was almost the max feed currently set at (around 27 IPM at about 270 rpm) (max feed is set to 30ipm) First I did threading with using the 100 line encoder + index. (using encoder.N.position) https://youtu.be/o2eqf9CGnUY Then I thought - what the heck - lets try it index only. (using encoder.N.position-interpolated) https://youtu.be/jHKmcjoCyLg I was darned impressed with the tracking of the single index. I could not really see the difference between the two in this situation. The kicker is that this is all done with the lowly printer port...
