This is a rigid bed mill weighing in at about 6K#. Travels are X-
32", Y-19", Z-20" and C-360 degrees. C is programmable in .0000
Degrees. All are fully interpolated.
I have had some problems here and there (lightening strike) but it
has 6800 hours on it and is still tight. I am awaiting delivery of a
new rigid spindle head with #40 taper. The factory J2 type with a
quill and #30 taper just isn't enough. I just replaced the auto
oiler.
I'm sure the Servo unit did not come with a tool changer. Does any body
play with a similar bedmill with a tool changer? Could you please tell me
what brand and type you got off list? Am contemplating buying one as there is
not a "tight" machine within a couple thousand miles of here for a good
retrofit.
