I finished the mounting block for the mini lathe tachometer. I replaced the plastic mount for the chuck guard that came with the lathe with an aluminum one that has a 1/4-20 tapped hole for mounting the tachometer bracket. The cavity in the plastic block housed a micro-switch to disable the motor driver when the chuck guard was not engaged. That's one of the first things I got rid of when I first got the lathe.
