I have a lathe which I have retrofitted with Kflop / Kanalogue. It works flawlessly, however, I recently had to repair a thread.
I wondered if there is a method I could use to ensure the thread picks up and is aligned with the cutting tool. Other methods reference the index pulse but I don't think I use it in the configuration.
Kind regards

Hi Matt,
Well I believe you could zero the Spindle Encoder Position while at
various Spindle angles to adjust the alignment.
Or simply adjust the Encoder Position by some number of counts until
it is aligned. ie:
chx->Position += 30.0;
Or I suppose you could just adjust the Z starting point of the
passes.
But I can think of an easy way to align them other than trial and
error.
