Installation Height Difference: Hurco VM10 vs VM20
I wasn't able to find anything searching here or abroad, but I'm wondering if anyone knows the minimum door height through which these machines fit relative to each other. I've been looking for a VM10 (or a Sharp 2412) since those can be somewhat disassembled to fit through my residential garage door opening (80") with some trim removal and potential header modification/replacement. Hurco says the -20 is 1.9" taller than the -10, but that is working height. If the minimum door height it will fit through is similarly taller, I think that ~2" is too much!
If anyone has a frame of reference on this, I'd greatly appreciate the feedback.

Hardinge VMC1000II Tool Changer adjustment
I am having a couple issues with my umbrella style tool changer.
The umbrella is not extending far enough to align with the spindle. The tools are just barely being held by the tool holders. There is a mechanical adjustment on the tool changer slide but I don't know how to force the tool changer to extend to give me access to the adjustment screws.
Any tips on how I can have the tool change pause with the spindle oriented and lowered so I can make the adjustments?

Tool life management
Does anyone know the best way to monitor tool life using Siemens 840 control? And how youd incorporate this into your program. For example I need a tool to do 20 parts then life out so the operator needs to change the tool. I know there is a tool monitoring page but Im really looking for the code to activate all of this from the main program. Cheers.

Probing reports - coordinate transformation output 840D
Does anyone know if a paramacro or other software can be purchased that will output the actual probed center point of a hole to a file on the controller? Preferred output would be in the local coordinate system or in a base coordinate system (engineering coordinate system). Here would be the ideal output from a file at the controller that could be transferred to a network. Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone running Blaser B-COOL 755?
Thinking about switching to it, anyone currently running it? Anyone running it with 300 psi coolant?
Currently we're running Qualichem XTREME CUT 250C as it worked much better with the higher pressure and didn't foam like others we tried.
The problem with it is that it has a strong chemical smell that is driving me nuts, makes my lips burn regardless of the concentration. Me and one other guy in the shop are bothered by it, but others don't seem to be.

Punch program from Fanuc without removing spaces
Is there a way to punch a program from a Fanuc control and keep the spaces between words? This part of the program is read into the machine as
but when you punch it back to the card it becomes
This is a bit of an issue for me as I use Notepad++ for editing and use a custom language to color code everything for easier reading but it doesn't work if there are not spaces between words.

Fadal speed stepping down and belt bark on spindle decel
Recently I've noticed that if I run the spindle up over 8K rpm, and there is a significant speed change or an m5, the drive steps the spindle speed down. If the spindle is commanded an m5 from upwards of 8K it steps down and then slams the spindle off, resulting in belt bark when it stops.
The spindle is a brand new unit, only a couple of months old. Nice and quiet.
I've looked through the manuals and searched online but I cant find anything regarding this.
Only happens over 8K, which sucks when I'm doing a lot of fine detail\engraving type work.
Any opinions would be appreciated.

Issue Setting #100s Macros from Program
Machine: Eurotech 420 SLL, Control: 18i-T
I am trying to set the 100s series macros (100-149) using program calculations and inputs, such as #100=1. or #101=#101+1. I am able to input values from the macro screen and also from MDI. The issue seems to be only from a program into Auto mode. Perhaps there is a parameter that controls these?
The 500 variables work fine.
Thanks

Pipe Thread Tapered End Mill
Would of been nice to own such an EM with the correct taper as this was a mill job
I did not see such an EM for sale at a few places I checked,,,do they make a pipe taper EM?
Memory serves me right it is somewhere around 1.7 degrees

1101 Probe start up failure
So I keep getting this alarm, I have checked batteries, cleaned the probes and sensor on the back wall of the haas, and also checked the setting to the Probe.. I'm not sure what to do next my probe will not even move... Is it possible the probe itself is dead?

Setting expectaction of coolant coalescer performance
I have been manually skimming my coolant tanks, and as you can guess, that sucks.
I bought a coalescer for one of my mills to test something more effective, and less hassle. It worked well to skim the free oil from the coolant, but it there is still a brown layer of partially emulsified tramp oil that it isn't separating. I expected the coalescer to strip the oil from this mixture, but it isn't. It passes the coolant through the coalescing media, and just mixes the brown layer back in. The brown layer disappears after skimming for a while, but when I shut off the unit, the brown layer floats back to the surface within 15 min, and covers the machine sump.
My question is whether my expectations are realistic. Do any of the coalescers strip tramp oil from well mixed layers?
The coolant is Trim E206. I'll refrain from naming the coalescer for now, because I would like to know if any of them are effective at stripping tramp oil from mixture, rather than just separating free oil from the surface.

RS-232 Communication problems
My CNC lathe with a Fanuc 0TC control communicates with a PC using EZ-DNC Express. The PC died so I had to reinstall EZ-DNC into its replacement. There are two pages of settings to be configured - one for the RS-232 settings and another for the DNC settings. I must have some of these settings wrong. If I try to send a program from the PC to the control, 'LSK' blinks for a while and then alarm 068 is displayed. If I try to go from control to PC, the status bar in EZ-DNC moves extremely slowly - about 1 byte at a time! Something is obviously wrong. EZ-DNC is set for 7 data bits, 2 stop bits, even parity, Xon/Xoff, and 2400 baud. I'm pretty sure these are the settings, but I could be wrong. Can anyone help?
