1. Turn power on to machine and connect software
2. Slacken both locking nuts on grub screws (See picture below)
3. Slacken one grub screw and check if the tool point is going in the correct direction. I.e. is it aligning with the centre line of the chuck / billet ?
4. If the tool point is going in the wrong direction, screw the grun screw in WHILST INITIATING AN AUTOMATIC TOOL CHANGE VIA THE SOFTWARE. Repeat this procedure until the tool point is aligned with the centre line of the chuck / billet ?
5. Screw in the other grub screw until it comes in contact with the rachet tab (See picture below)
6. Retighten both locking nuts on the grub screws.

If toolpost hangs up the software after performing a tool change, check out this link below. It may just be admin rights on the computer

Is it possible to get the dimensions of the auto tool turret? Do you have complete pictures available ?

Thanks,

Dear Denford Admin

I do not want detailed drawings. Can you just tell me the dimensions of the rectangular box? and the distance from the bottom to the center of the tool turret shaft in the picture in the above post.

Thanks,

Iron-Man
