Ok, I know very little about using a lathe, I have two a Mini 4x12 and a Craftsman 12x36 but I have had the time to actually use them. I have done some turning and parting but haven't actually made anything.
So I was wondering about facing something was mention the other day but it didn't register with me?
as Hey This Is Something You Need to Know pay attention.
Ok, when one is facing a end on your lathe the center turns at a different RPM than the exterior,
is that correct??
So when one is facing the "ideal" is to have the bit travel at different speeds across the face, correct?
Well in thinking about stepper motors and different speeds I wondered if anyone had used?
? This Arduino library allows one to set different acceleration/deceleration rates.
I have followed the for a couple of years and there appears to be good support.
I would suppose one would use this separately from any ELS program, unless the ELS program allowed one to implement new features.?
Just wondering if anyone has been down this road.
