Well, now that I've got my "almost dream lathe", I'm thinking of all the things I can do to it to pimp it up to make it my dream lathe. I ordered a FVD phase converter for it. Also ordered a manual knob to control the speed. Someday, I would love to turn it into a PM 91 by putting a "lift kit" on it and give it a 16" swing over the bed.
But for now, I'm thinking Digital Tachometer. Has anyone put an aftermarket one on their's? Ok, yeah I'm sure SOMEONE has. As a matter of fact, I read on another forum (through a search) that some folks have done it, but I didn't get a very clear answer as to what they did, or where they got their tach from.
So, if you've done it, please, if you wouldn't mind, let me know what, where, how... all the details.
Thanks!
