    DNM5700 tool data table question

    On the IHMI control is there a quick and easy way to reset the tool data table so that the tool numbers match the tool pockets? Machine is 2023 if that matters? Thanks

    DNM5700 manual 1 touch reference point return

    I just got a new DNM5700. Earlier in the week I had a rotary table installed. The guy installing it homed all of the axes automatically. I can't remember how he did it, so that's the question. How do I get the machine to home all the axes automatically? He hit a couple of buttons to make it...

    I have a 97 VF-2 I bought new. I have never replaced the mounted battery on the maincon? board. I'm not getting any battery alarms and I do not plan on messing with it until I do, I'm just trying to plan ahead. It looks like the board has two boards in front of it, and for these old ones you...

    Doosan Lynx 220 dead battery

    The batteries in my Lynx220lmsa die without warning and it's a big giant pain in the ass to reset the x,z&b origins. On my other Fanuc controlled lathes I will get a low battery alarm, change out the batteries while powered up and I'm rolling again. I'm using good quality batteries and not the...

    Doosan lynx wired correctly?

    I moved my 2014 lynx220lmsa and just got it wired back up. Is there any way to tell if it's phased correctly or if I need to swap 2 wires around. On the newer Haas mills there is a light in the electrical cabinet that will let you know if you wired right or not. Does the Doosan have anything...

    Jakobsen 824 way oiling system question

    We have a new to us Jakobsen 824 surface grinder. I'm looking at the way oiling system and from what I can see, it looks like you fill up one side of the tank and drain the other when it gets to the sight glass. Is this assumption correct? Also, what do you run for way lube in this machine...

    Remington 788 bolt disassembly question

    I have a Remington 788 and I'm looking at the bolt. It looks like the part the holds and ejects casings is pressed into the part with the bolt handle and lugs.

    Okamoto 1224 st vs 1224 dx

    Looking at the possibly picking up a 12x24 auto surface grinder. Leaning towards an Okamoto. With that said what are the differences between the Okamoto 1224 st vs 1224 dx?

    Doosan lynx 220lmsa tool setter problem/question

    When I use the toolsetter on my lynx 220lmsa all of the tools on the main spindle are off approximately .160 in the z+. Everything on the sub side is fine.
