Lathe owners with DRO’s

[hman]

Is that a Machtach below your DRO readout? If it is I can't recall seeing one with a led for RPM, SFM, INPUT & EXP, what are the INPUT and EXP for? Thanks

That's a Tachulator.

Thanks John, looks very similar to the MachTach

Installed a MachTach on my fist lathe, on my second one they were no longer available so purchased a Tachulator. Installed it in my own housing and changed it to a magnetic input instead of optical. Works well, but the MachTach was more compact and versatile, it did have a SFM LED. Input is for a second input, EXP is an error indicator when the RPM is too low to be accurate.

Thanks for the reply, I'm looking at going down the MachTach route
