I have a not so good mill.
I am trying to make a silk purse out this pigs ear.
The power feed for this machine only has a knob to adjust feed.
There is no indication as to how many inches per minute.
Today I hooked up a digital tachometer to the feed screw.
I figured that one revolution on my feed screw = .100" so what ever the tach shows just divide by 10.
I checked it out and sure enough it pretty close.
24 RPM - 2 1/4"
