    TL-1 door open alarm won't go off!

    No matter what I do for whatever reason the door open alarm won't go off on our TL-1. Any ideas?

    The proximity detector may have a small chip sticking to it. It is on top of the headstock near the back where the shaft for the chuck guard is. When the guard is open a small metal tab comes down in front of the detector. (I think, I may have it backwards.)

    When its open the chuck guard gets closer to it. Still about an 1/8 inch gap from touching it. Then when you lower the chuck guard there is a notched section that makes the gap closer to 3/8 of an inch. Is that right?

    I think so, is the end of the proximity detector clean? Any chips on it give the same effect as the when the guard is open.

    If that is clean are you pushing the little hand button thing that you are supposed to hold all the time for the machine to run?

    I agree, take some time off.
