One thing that really threw me was after I did the turcite on the ways,
the thing would x overtravel fault before the tool was all the way down.
I just happen to notice that the soft limits changed for the boring and
turning positions of the turret. I've run that thing for seven years
and never noticed that. The other thing that would happen was that it
would fault if you called for a turning tool when the turret was in the
X 0 boring position.

Hmm. Weird. I wonder if it's grid shifted? You migt need to set the grid
shift parameters.

There really aren't too many of those out in the field. The NM4 and NU4
were more popular as they had milling capability. There are a couple of
them on Ebay right now. Both NU's, meaning they have full c-axis rather
than indexing.

On your first round of posts, I thought you had one of those Hardinge
chucker knock offs. We never sold those and have nothing for them. Same
with the cam operated Swiss, BSA's and multi spindles. Those were all
produced under licence from Tornos, BSA, New Britain Machine, etc.. They
were only allowed to sell them in Asia. But some enterprising souls would
buy them and ship them over here.

I found another micro switch on the X axis. This was located half way
down on the travel. At first I though it might be used to set the drill
X zero position automaticly like you would set up a home position by
setting the counts after the closing of the microswith and encoder sero
crossing. It seems that is is used as a soft limit when the turret is
in turning mode position. That was basicily how I found this feature.
When I manually pushed in the limit, it would fault out with the x-
overtravel with the slide not even near the end of travel.
