This weekend my super mini mill started acting funny on tool changes. I have 2 items I have noticed.
1. When I remove a tool from the spindle manually, it works fine, but when I release the button to grab the tool it makes a squealing noise briefly, kind of like a balloon when you let the air out sound.
2. When a Tool Change is commanded it works fine, but sporadically it acts strangely. It goes as planned until the spindle goes down and grabs to the tool. You get the above sound, then after drawbar closes, it just sits there for a second or two. I never did that until this weekend. It does not do this on every tool.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if anyone is willing to discuss over that phone I would open to that help as well.
