LOL...well since you put it that way...I agree...so speculation as to who did make it ? Naturally my otherwise impressive Emco FB4 manual has absolutely nothing on any DRODoesn't look Heidenhain-ish at all to me.
It is... spindle is so quiet even at top RPM, as new backlash. Interesting the way the horizontal tools are secured via a shaft on the side of the ram that turns the drawbar, rather than at the rear as on Deckels and Mahos. Also there is a separate motor for the axis feeds....two speed but not DC....which seems odd as seems like if already designed that way it would actually be cheaper to go with DC motor, DC drive but no need for all those pesky transmission gears...it looks to be in very nice condition!
Unfortunately that didn't work. I even tried many variations on that theme, still nothing....Emco must have made changing to inch mode a deep dark secret for which one absolutely has to have the manual.Press "CE" then "1" AND "0" to access "P10."
Then P10 will hang on the display awaiting input of 0,1,or 2
P10.0 is mm display, P10.1 is inch and P10.2 lets you choose inch/mm from Preset key #4.
Suspect there is a lot of sharing going on behind the scenes among various Euro DRO makers, judging by the similarity of appearance, design, function of various DRO and scales I've seen over the years.
It is maddening to have that little "inch" light bulb taunting me when all they had to do is provide a damn "inch" button to turn it onNaw, think they were attempting to emulate "Fanuc" at that time and having the DRO read in inch was an option...
Feature is present , but you have to pay $2500.00 and have the service guy come out to turn it on.....

Yes. Works like a Maho.... unbolt 4 bolts, pull head out an inch or so enough to clear (there is a heavy duty sliding/pivoting bracket always in place on top to hold the head) the horizontal spindle, swing head over to the left side of the ram. You can either leave it there unsecured or bolt it to tapped holes in left side of ram just for the purpose.Is there a horizontal spindle? If so, how does it work, I don't see a way the vertical head would flip, or swing out of the way?
