Robert, please go ahead and move it. I believe more people will see it under machine accessories. Leave a redirect for 1 week.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Here's a pic of the enclosure I'll be using for the half size kits. It's made by Hammond Mfg. (# 1550D) and is cast aluminum which should help with EMI/RFI shielding when I switch to a VFD setup on the Bridgeport and Atlas. There's quite a few other options out there that will also fit the kit. Just be sure to account the wall thickness of the enclosure as well as the screw posts and any PCB standoffs in other boxes. I didn't realize that when I ordered some other boxes (Hammond Mfg. #1590A) and had to send them back to get these bigger ones.
Not to rain on anybody's parade... But I got a "Laser tach" on E-bay for abvout $20 and just put pieces of thre reflective tape on all my spindles. Seems a lot easier and cheaper and quicker to get back to making parts too.
