Just had a cute little VMC 15 delivered yesterday. Great machine, I have had
one single VMC 40 for 12 years or so, One man shop, So I know the operation
of these Ok. Ball screws are in perfect shape, no backlash, all parameters are
under .0008
See attached Pic, Did a 3d test last night using BobCad, Equaldistant finish
and results are pretty imperssive
Anyhow, My question, I can turn coolant pump on and off manually at the panel
but it does not respond to M8 command
Aye. When I went to the Fadal training class in Cincinnati ~16 years ago the old guy there discouraged us from using it. So I didn't (plus we had a few Tapmatic units). First time I tried it I was like "WHOAA!" I still use the 'matics when the situation fits but I'm all about the rigid tap.
