    CNC repair: tool lists of whats in your tool box, and what you cant live without

    I’m now going through and upgrading some of my harbor freight tools. Even though they have served me well. I’d hate for a customer to see them or much worse one of them break. I guess Ill keep them for backups in my service van.

    CNC repair: tool lists of whats in your tool box, and what you cant live without

    They are actually relocating me so I can be in the direct center of our customer base for the region. I can maximize my chances of being home every night. Pay is awesome, benefits are good. If worst comes to worst I can settle down in 5 years and have a good chunk saved.

    Zero Return '97 RoboDrill at power up? 16I control

    i think your taking my words out of context. in the morning our machine has moved a little on the Z axis.. and yes it will show how much it has moved. all we do is return the machine to zero then set our reference point off of machine zero. its just a habit. and why not do it? haha

Methods told me specifically "DO NOT MESS THE CASTLE NUT" he said a tech would have to come out if we had any problem with the bearing and needed to take the castle nut off. the PDF is to large to put on here. i...

    Fanuc Robodrill(1994)-16m control-carousel speed

    thats the only thing I can think of. It only does it if it's been sitting after day shift and doesn't get ran during night shift. When I called methods he said the same thing.
