Looks like I'm going to pull the trigger on this machine and had a few questions about it.
There is what appears to be an air driven spindle on the gang tool table. Is this for holding a live tool for C axis interpolation or is it a "sub spindle" for finishing work on op2?
There is a dovetailed piece on the spindle side of the cabinet. What is this for? Is this to hole a single tool like a boring bar/drill for op2 work?
Outside of those two things, I know the control is not supported anymore but wanted to know if there is a way to reload parameters (is that something that will even be needed if there is a battery issue). Any other things I should look for outside of the obvious or other things I should know about the machine good and bad?
