BIG AL, I do not know the exact date of manufacturing, but I think I can check that.
HuFlungDung: I agree completely, thats why my priority is to hook up the 3 axis drive first and then add components like auto tool changing and automatic tool height sensor later, but I still ask for guidance so I can plan ahead and modify the machine accordingly.
Because my machine has quil feed unlike this machine, I am kinda confused as to where the Z axis motor should be mounted: on the quil or the table bed. I would like some advice on that.
I forgot to check the collet type, but I am not sure if my machine and this one use the same collet, it looks like it, but not sure. This particular machine is missing all of the collets that belong to it, except one. The machine I have has some of the collets but I would have to check what they are.
BTW, I have been looking at these;
