Hey guys,
My name is Charles and I am new to this forum. I love this website and all of the technical help that you guys answer, so thank you in advance!
Ok my project is a 1985 Deckel FP3NC with a Dialog 3 control. So far I am very impressed with this machine, if not only for the manual machining value that it has. I managed to fit a 5 jaw chuck to it, which we use for drilling and small lathe type operations, and I am excited to see its full potential. Of course we will also use it for milling.
To power it up I used a 20 hp rotory phase converter from Americal Rotory with circutry that stabilizes power spikes. So far I am very pleased with it.
The problem that I am having is that I don't have an operators manual and I cannot find the right one anywhere. I cannot get the CNC function to work and I am sure that I just don't know what sequence of buttons to push. I have the function switch turned to position 11 and have entered a simple g code program to test it but I do not know how to ititiate the program. There appears to be no % keys either. Also it won't let me enter in a spindle speed. What am I doing wrong???
