I have a little lathe without cross gearbox (there is only one leadscrew). The X-axis must thus be moved manually. I want to place a step motor on the X-axis and create a circuitry for proportional driving of this X-axis relatively to the motion of the-Z axis. The proportionality factor (relation between the X-axis speed and the Z-axis speed), must to be adjusted with precision and stay stable during turning operation. Example: to turn a piece with conical portion(s). This project needs also to obtain a very precise leadscrew revolution speed information to can drive accurately this circuitry, taking in account that this screw must rotate very slowly !.

Documents are jointed to describe principles to be investigated: (no yet electronics, bud first mechanics !)
