I could use a little guidance here. I took over a conventional machine shop earlier this year and last week bought a Hitachi Seiki VK55 mill. Once I figure out how to get it through the door, it'll be coming in later this week; I think I will need to remove the table enclosure to make it fit. I'm meeting with the rigger later today to check it out. I want to make sure I set everything up right from coolant to periodic maintenance, tools, programming, etc. I'll be heading to HGR Supply to see if they have some CAT 50 holders for this beast. I have the manuals for it so that'll be the place to start, but any general advice on how not to screw this up?
