I have a Denford Cyclone (1992) serial #CY14111A , It is fitted with a Duplomatic 8 position tool turett the problem is that when I select a tool manually say tool position number 5 the turett stops at position number 4 in other words it will allways stop one position short of what I have selected yet when machining it seems to work fine going to the correct position , my question is can anything be done so that if I select say tool number 1 it will go to that position and not to position number 8 ???

Could the disc be bolted on in the wrong position?
Not sure if it will fit in 45 degree or 90 degree increments?

If it were bolted on in the wrong position then surely that would also make it go to the wrong position when machining ?? also I am sure that it was working perfectly when the machine was last used October of last year and then the spindle drive inverter blew up and have only recently bought a new one to replace old unit ,

You need to check the diagnostics.
453.4 Tool select switch starts at binary 0
Make sure diagnostic 453 bit 4 is set to a 1
