I am just about done with my Must Do's and will be headed to my shop for the next two or three months.
I want to do ELS (#RELS) on my Craftsman?101.07403 12x36 Lathe. I also have a Mini Lathe 4x12 which
I will do later.
I would like to document the full story possible for publication or at least a detailed web post.
Thought I'd start with the encoder.
Where do I start? What encoder do I want? I googled rotary encoders and my head is spinning.?
Especially the price I can pay $16.00 - $30.00 or $300-$600.00, even with the same brand name
there can be $200.00+ difference from different suppliers.
I will be mounting the encoder on the spindle at a 1:1 drive so a 2 - 3000 rpm encoder should work.
I appreciate the help and would really like to document this selection.
