Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Taig CNC mill

It might be that I am mixed up. Emco is an Austrian machine factory and
Enco is a US tool supplier. Am I right?
The Austrian machine factory normally had its two lines I mentioned in the earlier
post. At least until 5 years ago. I was supposed to maintain quite a few different
machines for the local vocational institute. And remember vivid the set up I had to arrange
16 years ago in our University, because neither the Emco-instalation man nor the professors
were able to get the thing working right. To that time I only knew how to turn manually.
After 2 free afternoons the thing worked like a clock. Except: the chuck wouldn't close centrical.
There was no hope to turn both ends of a piece. And no steel and even in Plastic or aluminium
you couldn't make any heavy cut. The control panel and software to that time was top.
But what helps a nice control on a bubble gum lathe?

On the other hand I had references and bulletins on real industrial machines from these people
that were always light green and were supposed to work perfect.
Good Luck
