speed (frequency)

I have a nice Excel spreadsheet that shows this effect if you're (or anyone is) interested. If we go to the external hardware I described in a previous post we can reduce the size of the frequency steps to a very small size throughout the usable range of traverse rates.


I would like to look at your spread sheet. Please mail me a copy or post it somewhere.

I thought I might be able to make some of the decisions a bit easier for the second machine.

I was wrong. I know what I like and don't like, using the Ah-ha setup. There is a lot of factors to consider setting up a retrofit.

I do a lot of small mill work so I think I need to be concerned about resolution first and speed second. Then on the other hand, speed is time and time is money. It is usually a good approach and speed which wins the prize.
