Tachometer, Spindle, HiTorque Mills & Lathes

Took a few minutes to mount on my mini lathe’s headstock, and now I can dial in exact speeds without guessing. The readout is clear from across the shop, and the 20 RPM increments are plenty precise for what I do.

I was getting frustrated with guessing my spindle speed by ear, so this tachometer is a lifesaver. It mounts easily on the control box and shows RPM in 20-step increments, which is exactly what I needed for threading.

Finally, I can see exactly what my mini lathe spindle is doing without guessing. The readout to 20 RPM is precise enough for threading and the mounting was straightforward on the headstock.
