New Guy,Best way to setup a Automatic Tool Changer

Well the machine arrived..

As an added bonus it is 4 axis ...

Before making a decision to retrofit..
I'm not sure if I should go through the trouble of running a 3 phase circuit to my
shop just to see what works... and then see how much it will cost to repair anything broken.

So is anyone interested in working on this thing with me ?? :whistle:

Anyone in South Florida?

Ive studied some tool changer routines, found the one in the axyz thread, starting to understand it a little..

I think with the cost of retrofitting or repairing is going to be about the same..

The guy with the Arrow 500 is Petefromtn on this forum. You could try sending him a pm.

Well looks like I am gong to start a HAAS retrofit to LinuxCNC ...

Found two boards burned up.. not going to be worth finding out what else is wrong...

So I have removed all the HAAS controls ... Going to reuse a lot of stuff..

Any movement on this? Maybe a blog somewhere? Thanks!

Im still here... made a big move in the past year.. close to going back to work on it.

Going to attempt to put a twin arm changer on it. I picked up a brand new surplus unit to try.

Great! I am in east central Fl. Right beside Cape Kennedy. I have a 1990 VF1. Working, but can't drip feed.
