So I may have to put down old faithfull ..
I bought this in the early 90's its been a GREAT machine..
sits for months and runs when I need a extra spindle.BUT, today..
Its running ,Im across the shop and ALL HECK breaks loose. Ive never heard this
LOUD terrible racket before.. Rush to the machine in record time blindly stab at every red button on the controller and nothing I do helps it just keeps grinding away till finally the spindle sounds like it jambs and stops.
Well !!What the heck it doesnt owe me anything SO......
I restart it and run through the spindle low,mid,high range..
No problem so re-zero it, press go and off it goes to prep another part.I turn off the lights and go home.
Now A little back ground.. A service guy "tweaked" the shifting fork??? years ago . sometimes it had problems shifting into low range .....
recently upon start up I would have to program mid range
speed or the spindle would just oscillate till it alarmed out.
Not that any of these are a big deal ... just some background.
The grinding is a big deal any suggestions ???
