I completed the Mach Tach installation today, mounted it under the DRO. I've decided to run it off a 9v battery, I put a switch on the side of the enclosure so it only needs to be on when setting speeds, I figure the battery life should be pretty reasonable that way. All the spare 9V power supplies I could muster were putting out closer to 12v when measured, which apparently risks releasing the smoke from the Mach Tach, not something I want to do, especially considering they are no longer available.
The rev count agrees with my analogue RPM meter. The spindle speeds are actually double what the plate on the machine states; I guess the high RPM motor has been a retrofit. Top speed is 4600 RPM. Something of an improvement over the original Victoria vertical attachment.
