The first CNC I ran was Taiwan Iron and a Florida 2 axis
controller. The university bought a third axis for the machine after
a year and a pile of scrapped parts. It had a klugy tool restart
function which didn't make it clear to the operator (me) when the cycle
was finished and it was g

The controller is not unique to the machine -- it's a Delta Dynapath
10, and I have seen spare
I id a lookup on the Tree 210 and came across this page
http://www.treemachinetools.com/oldstuff/back_in_timetrees_of_yesteryear.htm

The problem isn't stopping for tool
I was beginning to think nothing was happening, thanks for the report.
The halt for tool change is a safety feature. You should really count
your fingers a couple of times before you change the code.
http://www.govliquidation.com/ is an interesting site for surplus
stuff. There are quite a few
A couple of other things in the manufacturing section...
We've gotten a number of other new tools. These include a shop air
compressor, a 4x6 horizontal/vertical bandsaw, and a 40" 3-in-1 sheet
metal machine (roll, press brake, and shear). Dave Masten has been
showing Dave Weinshanker and myself h
