I will be using the CAPPS.
In the future, our company would like to look into getting some kind of offline programming software, but as of right now, that is not happening.
Thanks for the tip on the Y-axis shift...I'm sure that will save me hours of headache.
Do you have collet nose or do you just use the chucks?
I was planning on using an ATS S-30 that uses collet pads, and maybe an
S-26 for the sub spindle. Both are low profile, accu-length.
The nice thing about the S-30 on the main is it will allow a 3" bar capacity.
We run quite a bit of hex material, so the pads will be alot faster change over than a 3 jaw chuck.
