Finally making parts on this machine. Thanks to those who helped..
New problem..
It can take 4 or five attempts to get the spindle to suck down on the Bt40 tooling when replacing tools. If I don't very carefully try and center and balance the taper in the spindle, while gently pressing it up, it catches off center and I have to release it and try again. Once its set it seems to work fine. Its almost like the pullstud is too long..I've never had this issue with other machines. It was plug-and-play: the taper almost self-centered and the drawbar latched on and pulled it in..easy.
Not this machine..
Anyone got a link to the proper stud dimensions so that I can check if there's been a screw-up ?
Thanks,
Metalurgent
