    Collet closer install.

    Hey all, Have a W&S NO 3 m-2200 and I am trying to figure out how to get the collet chuck re installed. I believe the previous owner converted the lathe from a manual to a pneumatic setup(that’s what on the 3jaw chuck at least). Not a huge fan of the 3 jaw chuck personally. But that is...

    New guy entering the CNC world!

    I wouldn't even consider less than 100a service 200 would be a good start. A 20hp rotophase will eat 60a and a compressor is easily another 20 or 30. Not leaving much on the table for power for lights saws etc..... Tooling and experience is expensive. I'm only a couple steps ahead of you...

    Tried clearing to zero or at least entering zero on them which i assume is the same??? Would not let me move any axis at all. Went back to what I had in both metric and english and neither got me any further. Thinking its my parameter about how far i can move from the reference. Do you...
