Hi,
I have just brought a Boxford 240TCL CNC lathe. the machine has been updated in 1997 by "Conect Numerical Controls" who dont seem to be in business anymore. The sofware seems to be version V2.02. Does anyone have a copy of the PC software needed to run this machine? Or information on where I can get the software from.
Thanks
Mike

your machine will read eia format most likely. post a sample of your code so we can see it or go on line and do a search for eia format g and m code you will find a lot of info

Mike,
Thanks for the suggestion, but its not the the lack of G code or post processor thats the problem. I do Not have the Software to run on a PC to comunicate with the machine, it is this that I am after.
Thank you

Hello all, I have just joined the group - looks a great idea!
I have recently aquired a Boxford 240TCL and wondered if there are any other owners/users with these machines out there?

Apologies all, I meant to sign myself off formally, only I just noticed the names of contributors to this thread and some confusion may reign!
Thanks

Hi, i`m replying to your 2007 thread, re the Boxford 240TCL. i have just picked one up from the local school. But the PC that came with it is not working. So did you get any luck with getting software for the lathe, Any help from anyone i will be greatfull for.
The lathe works completely on manual so it would be a pity to strip everything out and convert to modern controles although this may be the best in the long run.
Best wishes to everyone with these machines,
Reg
