Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Sherline lathe CNC conversion

Actually, Microkinetics does sell a spindle encoder, according to their website:

"Tool changes are accomplished with simple M6 Tx commands and the Electronic threading is performed using the standard G33 command
specifying the length, pitch and number of passes. Also you can specify the X distance if you're making a tapered thread. "

Disclaimer: I haven't seen it or dealt with them.
