Does anybody have any experience lathe single point cutting with the kflop and a VFD. I know the analog input on a VFD is not particularly accurate. Would an encoder on the spindle allow the kflop to make corrections for actual speeds? I have an older lathe with a large three phase motor on it. Hoping to have some good results.
Thanks,

Hi Scott,
That should work if you add an encoder on the Spindle. The method
is that the XZ motion is driven by and follows the measured position
of the Spindle. So precise Spindle speed and position control is
not critical.
