Is there a parameter you can change to disable the door switch on a Torque Cut? I can't see my edge finder with the door closed.

No.

I run this machine and have the same problem , i unbolted the door lock switch and inserted it back into the door latch this way the machine thinks the door is always closed.... i dont reccomend this for first timers or anyone who is a complete idiot and has never run this machine before...... use with caution, this may potentially create unwanted effects and may cause bodily injury. just dont run the machine with the door open.

I don't have doors on my benchtop mill, but I've got one of those electronic light-up edge finders, and I'm really liking it so far. I would think you could see it through plexiglass.

ditto on the unbolted door latch.

Thanks for the replies. I have already unbolted the latch but sometimes I bump it and it comes loose. On my Fanuc Omd control there was a parameter that I changed. So I thought I'd give it a shot and try it with the Bridgeport.

Thanks again.

When in the jog screen mode, the door interlock switch is not active on the 3 Torque Cut's we have. That is the only time we use an edge finder. These were electronic edge finders that I have modified to audible for Blind operators.
