Hi,

I would like to rig up a low tech, cheap handwheel counter for my
manual milling machine. I'm picturing a three or four digit counter
that looks like an odometer and can be reset with the push of a
button. With each turn of the handwheel something on the handwheel
hits the counter and increases it by one. I don't know what these
parts would actually be called or where they could be purchased. Any
ideas?

I've seen the little chromed manual counters available on Ebay
for several dollars. Ticket takers use them to count heads of
cattle going into places like fairs. Rig one up with a long
paddle and install a too-long roll pin in the handwheel to
actuate it. That would be 1-way only.
