Aboout a week or so ago, I read with excitement, a posting about setting up a tachometer on a lathe etc. for under 25 dollars.
The original post and and others adding to it seemed to have disappeared.(wierd)
I was either smart enough or lucky enough to have printed out the ebay listing, so I have that info to make the tachometer purchhase. (no optical sensor included with the tach)
But now I am looking for the info on the actual sensor whhich was was used by the original poster, or if someone knows if another will work. I think I have an answer , but I would liike to see any of the orig. post. I know one group member, I think he is from Australia (spelling ?) anyway, his name is Martin and he wrote about his setup & I beleive he even had posted photos of the sensor setup on his belt driven bench lathe.
So, Martin , if you see this ciould you re post your info or send mme a privatee email ?
Thanks,
Bob Ferry
