Hi,
Finally got round to starting my Denford Starturn 8 lathe with ATC turret.
It runs DOS operating software so is a bit clunky compared to the VR software I use on the novamill.
Anyway, I was just orienting myself with the machine, and jogged the X axis away from the centre line, and the axis stopped at what looked like "home" position. I assume there was a switch as it stopped prior to me releasing the down arrow.
Now the X axis won't go back towards the centreline, in fact the Z axis wont move either...
The screen seems to indicate they are moving, but the machine remains still.
Has anyone else ever had this? What is the cause? I have tried reboot of PC and power off/on of machine.
Any advice would be welcome, as otherwise I have a very expensive paperweight. :)
