No, IR is a way of avoiding the expense of a tach.

I wouldn't say the IR is accurate enough for threading, but is sure does help maintain speed.
I am pretty sure the torque pot increases the amps. There are steps to adjusting all these pots that are in the PDF manual that can be found online. If you take your time, you really can get a nice motor to purr. Like my old chevy truck, I adjust the timing by ear. You know when you got it just right. It just purrs.


Jason, I run the flycutter at 15 IPM. I was really impressed to get so much power and control for about $200 total for the motor, it's controller and a speed control. I didn't land on this setup to start with though. I initially tried a different motor controller and speed controller and had pretty poor results. Better than the X2 OEM, but still not what I was looking for.
