I have a thought of adding some sort of indicator to my mill that will show the travel speed of my mill table in inches per minute.
I've checked the speed of the table in various positions of the table power feed. It works but a pain in the butt. My thought is to some how adapt a tachometer or some indicator to a digital readout. I recently ordered a couple of graduated potentiometer dials to replace the dial on the power feed, maybe this would allow me to attach a number to a specific speed, time will tell.
Has anyone applied this concept to their mill?
All thoughts or opinions would be welcome
