Hi
i had a tool hit the chuck during a tool change. Fortunately, the spindle was not running, and nothing appeared to be broken. However, as you can see from the picture tool position is way off from centerline. it seemed like it was off a tooth on the coupling, but when i rotated clockwise it to the next position while the turret is unclammped its off the same amount, just down. i loosened all cap screws on the coupler, (there are no tapered pins) and tried re-aligning it, but this off far more then i have had before. before, its been off like say .010. We are off inches here...
of course this happened while im trying to get parts out the door!
