    Vista CNC Spindle Tach

    I ordered one of these last week. Now that I have it I am wondering. Will Mach3 take this as an input and make it possible to thread with it?

    Or is it just a visual tach? Thank you.

    Good question. Here you go!

    The Tach will not provide indexing for Mach3. It just sends a RPM number to Spindle DRO ( a "visual" tach).

    Thanks,
