Hi everyone
I am starting this thread to detail the process of alignment /correction on my 2006 Hyundai Kia SKT200.
No native English here so apologies for any typo.
Also no previous lathe experience, but not new to CNC.
I got this machine used and in need of good maintenance check.
After some initial problems that i manage to solve either by myself or with the help of forum members i come to the
point of checking its accuracy.
After trying to educate myself on the subject reading here in the forum or in Youtube videos (thanks WES) i believe that i might be able to
correct its problems myself. However this feels intimidating and i will certainly need the help/suggestions from the forum members here.
So i start by manually machine a little piece of alu bar i had around.
Initial impressions of the dimension looks good overall. Will need to try with a longer bar to check for a noticeable taper. on 40 mm no taper.
However it is leaving a tit in the middle when facing.
So today a start to document the procedure and looking for advice.
I post some photos that show the turret and what i already did .
photo1 / Machine:
Photo2 - I placed a indicator on one of the tool slots and move it on X. The difference on this small run was about +/- 0.06 mm.
Photo3 - I placed a indicator on one of the toll pockets guides and run it on Z. No apparent move or 0.01mm.
maybe should check on a longer surface.
Photo4 is from the inside off the little front cover. I do see 4 bolts in there but i have my doubt on what to do here. I was hoping to find some empty space for the pins but either this pops up after removing this bolts or they can only be accessed by removing the turret.
My guess is this pins are already gone considering this machine is from 2006.
Looking for advice.
Thank you
Regards
