quick background about myself, im 31, a shop operator, using large format custom made CNC machines to create tooling for automotive car bodies. 2 weeks ago i acquired 2002Fadal EMC. Very excited to tap into this type of manufacturing as its more consistent in income. However i still have much to learn. 2 problems that ive run into are securing my vise to the table via T-slot, the anchors that came with my vise doesnt work with my table. Can anyone tell me about the differences and what i should get/do to anchor down the vise. picture attached.
second one is loading and unloading my tool holders. I have 2 types of CAT40 tool holders, one with a 45 degree pull stud on it. the holders seem to be difference in profile, one having a longer taper. The problem is that i cannot load the tool into the spindle with either type of CAT40. heres my process- pushing and holding the "toolin/out" button to open it, trying to place the holder in while letting go of the "toolin/out" button, the spindle doesnt grab the too holder. im giving the machine about 80 psi of pressure.
If you guys can help me out that would be great.
