Sorry for not catching these responses. I usually get an email when a thread I initiate gets a response. These are really good comments, and had I checked back I could have potentially saved myself some down time and money. The spindle refused to let go of a tool and took out 2 forks and a couple of tools. I sent it back to HSD for review to see what is going on. The manual says it should operate down to 35 degrees, I keep the shop at 40 or so when I am not around. I expect a response from HSD tomorrow on what they find. Looks like I will lose over 2 weeks of tool time.
Thanks for the advice, wish I would have checked the thread and tried you alternative before sending the spindle off. |
