Agie Classic S, wire tension, tank fill / drain issues
A long story shortened, 2008 Agie Classic S. Hard drive failed. Replaced and software reloaded [as far as I know]. Everything seems to be working with these exceptions, yet to make sparks with it. Problem with the wire tension/feed is new, was working before hard drive failure. The tank fill /...- BGL

Lathe Spindle displacement ?
2007 SL 10. New to me, and has very low hours, consider it new! Seriously - I don't think it has ten hours of spindle on time. It is that clean, I need to look but trust me - its mint! We came by this machine when the owner lightly crashed it and decided there is more to machining than he... -

ONA DB 300, What does this button do?
I am about to jump in the deep end [for me] of the pool of EDM. We have a 2007 ONA DB 300 that has not had the cosmoline removed nor the power switch thrown on since taken out of the crate upon delivery in early 2008. Safe to presume the warranty is past due so no worry there.. I have been...- BGL

At my day job our 2004 Mini Mill - tool shuttle motor died in 2008, mind you that this machine saw intermittent use, I don’t think it saw more than 200 hours of use total by then. The design with its compact size and necessary plastic cover I suspected coolant infiltration. At that time the... -

NOGA Deburring tools - what the?

Parameters - backing up / copying
My 1992 VF0, is there a way to copy all the parameters as a file to an external memory. I took digital pictures of all the pages on the monitor but I was hoping I can down/up load it like a program file. This is just as a backup in case of a major failure in the control. -
