Tac for speed

You can purchase one of these tacs and they will serve you well. You can use them on your car or any machine that has a rotating shaft. However, the Shopsmiths are calibrated quite well (I've owned an early Mk V, Mk VII and a Mk V-510. If you just remove the speed dial and reset it it will be very close to what the tac shows.

Now that I've confused you all, I will post a Word document on how to do this with pictures - in a week or so. This can save you some time, money and grief. For those who know how to do this please accept my apologies for posting something that everyone knows. I'm new here.

The more 'alternatives', the better.
