OT Electric trailer brake operation
This is partially correct till you start talking about reverse . I have used and fixed many electric brake trailers in the 25 years in the excavation industry . I have not come across 1 that the brakes do not work in reverse . If that was the case , then you can take the brake away switch and... -

Mazatrol cutting direction
Hmm , Problem is on bottom tapping (with floating tap holder ) it would bottom out and snap before reversing with less then the desired depth in the program . Single point threading is a breeze (no issues) :confused: Iv'e got some M2 coming up in a month or so that I'll be back to trying it... -

Mazatrol cutting direction
Yes .005 is my finish depth . I'll try the 7 when I get new belts . I noticed slack in them and went to adjust to find out there is no more adjustment left . I just learned if belts look "OK" they probably aren't . I'm guessing that could be part of issue along with my tapping issues ? Steve -

Milltronics spindle pegging load meter
From what I see your parms look good . If you have your manual , just double check them . Mine are on a printed sheet of computer paper and a 3.5 floppy . Your belts are in low range . there must be a way to toggle between ranges at the control . I'm surprised tech wont help you :confused:- ihbuilder
