Ok this is the first lathe I've seen that uses an encoder for rotation position so I have to ask is that
1 Encoder pulse 2000 ' is that exactly a 360 degree rotation
2 Stepper pulse 1200 ' what is the leadscrew pitch and is it metric or imperial
3 Lead Screw 1.44 ' Please explain what figure this is
4 Z-Move Frequency 0500 ' would this be set for a screw cutting pitch
Now for a 12TPI thread each rotation will move the tool 83 thou or 2.117mm.
The leadscrew pitch still needs to be known as that dictates the travel on one rotation
So could you give some more info mate now here is a picture of my gear tables for my Wiler Toolroom lathe
