Schematic, parts, and code you are trying to use?
Which Arduino board?
What sensor(s)?

Re: ELS conversion
I put a Clough42 ELS on my Atlas 618 a few years back.? I did not have a QCGB so for me it is a lot faster and easier to change feeds and gear pitches.? Also does both metric and imperial easily.?

I am currently cleaning it up and piecing it back together.
I also have a Craftsman badged 618.

Re: ELS conversion
If you are doing telescope work, I imagine you are doing thin wall work that really needs to be single point threaded. Makes sense. Everyone has different needs. It is always interesting learning what

Re: [E-Leadscrew] Rockietronics ELS
The answer is Yes* (note the star).
The base unit can run any thread in 0.01mm increments which is 0.0004". Just input the numbers in metric format and you are done. for example, 3/8" = 9.525mm and

Re: ELS conversion
Mike,
If I had a QCGB I probably wouldn't be looking at an ELS. As others have
said and in my case I routinely do metric threads as well as SAE. Mostly
telescopes stuff so metric but some of

Re: ELS conversion
Thanks for the reply. I guess I didn't think about chatter since I can deal with that with a VFD controlling rpm. The metric thread cutting makes sense although I have just used a die holder. I was

Re: ELS conversion
There are other options on some of the versions. With some you can cut
tapers others you can also ball turn.

Re: ELS conversion
An electronic lead screw allows you to cut any pitch thread you want, SAE
or metric. It will also allow you to use any feed rate you want. So, if you
are developing some chatter and want to reduce
