Obviously built by K&T. I'm considering such a swinging arm style for my G0704 at some point. An R8 spindle does not a good design make though. And adding ER stuff in TTS holders to the mix complicates the heck outta all the monkey motions needed. Consistent tool stickout is just a dream, making the calibration per tool before use part of the tool changer routine though. Gets complicated way beyond just positioning the chain, and likely will eat up several more i/o bits to properly synch the moves. > > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
