I was just hoping to use the original encoder as its already mounted , the disk I need to make would have to be 11" in diam to , may still do it in the morning as I need to thread a part that just wont eaisly fit in my other lathes

Then again, as suggested earlier, you may get by temporarily by reducing the spindle RPM to 50% or less just for the threading.....or even more. It may get you over the hump.

I have tried threading in 50 rpm increments from 50 rpm to 1000, same problem

Maybe going the "Reflective Sticker and Sensor" route would be easier than the slotted disc if the SS is soon coming into play.

Hi Alex , we sold everything inland , my wife decided we would keep the house on the river. Havent been there in over a year . Hopefully the real estate market will come around and we will put it back on the market. Havent had much time for trail riding in the past year , busy in the shop .

I havent gotten it to work 100% but I read your post on your threading tolerances increasing drasticly with the upgrade to .008 , loaded the latest development version and its doing much better. I decided to thread the 400+ tubes I need on the other lathe and get back to this one when I can get another smooth stepper.   I really need to get this one threading as it has a 3" hole thru the spindle, 30hp spindle motor , 12 station tool changer etc etc.

I sent the fellow at warp 9 an email this past weekend but havent heard anything back. I was hoping to get one in hand before the week ends , plenty of other stuff to do in the meantime.

I hope it's all patched up in the next release. Looking for a new lockdown soon, if I'm following the other forum correctly.
Keep up the good work,
thanks,

Still waiting to here back from Warp9 on getting a smooth stepper for this project
