I've not crossed that bridge yet. Cute solution to that problem however. Does it have a duty cycle limit? 'twould be nice if it moved according to the polarity of the applied 12 volts, but we should be so lucky. Or maybe it does since it can both lock and unlock. I've already had one fail in my 2011 ford pickup. I've still got that mechanism in a box under the seat so I'll look at it to see how it toggles one way or the other. Might be just what Dr. Gene ordered. :) > With linkages, you could mount it anywhere on the spindle head. Yup, I've already thought about how to make the wrench and its holder, but not how to actuate it. Could be perfect. This chuck has a slinger disk, and I've considered removing it and machining matching flats for balance so a couple ATS-667's at 45 degrees would give me a tach. There's an unused encoder in this 7i76D, and I sure like to know the real speed. Right now I'm seeing the command but this VFD seems to take that only as a general suggestion unless I've finally found the torque boost settings. So far I've extended its low speed range from just barely running at 4k requested, to running well at 1500 commanded, w/o serious overcurrents. So I'm "getting there". Thanks Roland & take care.
