Hi all....I'm new to the group....will be around for a while.

I have a Supermax vert mill w/ Bandit 1 control. I just powered this
thing up for the first time. I don't have any doc's on it. Can
someone tell me how to input a simple program to test the machine
before I spend $$$ on manuals?

I found a sample program on a post and whittled it down for a test. I
can't quite figure out how to enter and store it via the control
panel on the mill?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I also have a Shizuka AN-S w/ AB 8400 control, Glentek Drives, and a
tool changer. I will be looking for info and parts for it soon. I do
have manuals for it.

Thanx!

Brad:

You may find that the directions in the 8400 manual can be of some help with
the Bandit. Many of the commands are the same and, although it has been
awhile since I worked with either, I think some of the instructions for entering
the program is similar. You might want to try Amazon or Ebay for manuals.
Also, I have Googled for some out of date manuals and found them that way for
other controls, PLCs, etc.

Hope this helps some,
Randy Abernathy
