I just got the machine and want to get some info. What is the pich for the ball screws, Is there a hidden switch to take the collet out or is it just stuck if so what are some non destructiveways of removing it, and what are some worthwhile upgrades on the machine?

Hi If you download the latest software for the machine you will find the machine manual on the download that may be helpful.

And do you know if I can get more collets for my machine or if it's a proprietary collet.
