General Mach Discussion / Re: Opinion and advice - explain relationship of encoder to kernel speed

OK... Just tried it and it worked perfect. I set the A axis so that one unit is one revolution, and programmed as follows:
G1 Z-20 A20 F150
G1 Z0 A0
Got what seems to be perfect threads. The spindle motor hardly felt any load at all with the M6 tap in delrin. I probably could even go faster than 150mm/min, but didn't have the courage to try
Now I have to find a more intelligent way of doing this, instead of disabling and enabling the A axis under Port&Pins each time.
