Lathe tachs


 

Hi All,

FWIW, I've been using a $12 digital tach on my Atlas 10" lathe for quite
a while (still powered run by the original 9 volt battery, but I switch
it off when not in use), along with a used treadmill motor. I'll never
go back to changing belts! Super-handy and fast to just dial up the
RPM's you want and get to work.

Hope that's helpful.

God bless you and yours,

hey folks have any of ya made a tachometer using a Arduino ? I tried
some I found online but most of them seem to have something wrong with
the code? I'm not smart enough in the Arduino world to decipher the code
. What are you folks using ? I don't want to buy just a tach from China
. I need to get one working in the Arduino platform for part of a
project I've got going . thanks

Any chance you could share a pic or two of your setup?


 

'Happy to, Smiley,

I just took a couple quick photos and dropped them into the "Dave's
Shop" folder. Called "Atlas Var speed 1" and "Atlas Var speed 2". This
one's a 10" TH-42. Loving the setup so far; have been using it nearly
every day for quite a while now, mostly for light work so far.

Hope that's of some help to someone.

God bless you guys,

Any chance of plans/parts/diagram?? I would like to try to duplicate something like this (eventually!).

BTW - Really like your website as well.??
