What are the foot pedals for? Rapids?

What are the foot pedals for? Rapids?

I believe that is to change the tool holder. The pull stud mechanism is hydraulic.

Peter Veltman had two of these for sale a while back, both with broken controls iirc.
The control will be the problem.
I'd like to hear the story of what possessed H&K to dive so deep into NC mills.
Maybe they were trying to build a firearm that shoots straight? (this is a pun based on the very public issues they have been having in Germany)

The machine was bought in Zealand, Denmark and is currently located in the north of Denmark. It is approximately a 13 hour drive from the manufacturer in Waldmössingen, Schramberg, Germany to the machines current location.
