Spindle Speed Nob Adjustment

[adam058]

Is it possible to change the way the nob that adjusts spindle speed works? It's finicky and is either too slow or fast. Would be great if it just moved by like 1000 for every click..

Not that I know of.....

Adam,
However, if you could mount a large diameter clear plastic disk on the existing knob without causing damage to the knob, you could then make finer adjustments.  I have not tried it for this particular purpose, but it has worked in similar situations for me.

sounds like a job for a 3D printer....

Consider giving the Monport laser a try; it's known for its user-friendly interface, high-quality performance, and affordability. Unfortunately, I can't access external websites like monportlaser.com/collections/co2-laser-engravers/products/monport-40w-lightburn-ready-12-x-8-co2-laser-engraver-cutter-with-fda-approval?sca_ref=5031521.ka374VZjm3 Regarding your spindle speed adjustment issue, it might be possible to modify the knob's functionality for more precise control. You could explore if your CNC machine's manufacturer offers any optional accessories or upgrades for adjusting spindle speed increments. Additionally, reaching out to the manufacturer's customer support or consulting the machine's manual may provide insights into potential adjustments or solutions for your specific model.
