Hi
I just wnated to confofm something. I am retrofitting (well rebuilding) an old lathe. As part of the control, the spindle motor had to be turned on manually and the speed set manually. However the machine is equipped with a spindle speed sensor (both a single pulse per rev and multiple pulses per rev). Hence I'm assuming this machine worked by matching the feedrate to the spindle speed. Does Mach work in this way?
I.e. can I thread without having speed control from the PC - but I have got a spindle pulse going into the PC?
Cheers
Dave
