I have a lathe set up with a single index signal on the spindle. I believe that it is possible to do single index threading with emc but looking on linuxcnc.org I didn't find much info. Has anyone done this?
I fully understand that a single pulse per rev is not ideal but this is a large machine and I only need to make small cuts (a M10 x 0.75 thread) so the speed variation will be minimal. I don't really want to spend any more time rigging up a proper encoder as this machine will be scrapped in the near future.
