I got a MachTach tachometer for my RF31. I put one on a lathe and it works great. One button and it changes from rpm to sfm. Surface speed. So can input the endmill diameter and dial in the sfm needed.
I am running 220 with a vfd so variable speed with a 20 turn pot.
Where is the best place to mount the sensor? I was planning on putting it up to the lowest motor pulley on the quill, putting a 5/8 piece of tubing on that pulley and have the reflective strip on that.
