It's now into position, and off the skates. Not quite where I was planning on putting it, as I had to turn a bit to avoid the bar feeder running down the centre of the workshop.

I managed to find enough hydraulic oil to get the chuck working, so stuck a new length of bar in the chuck to help with the positioning to get a good visual guide to where the bar feeder needs to go.

After finally figuring out what button the manual refers to the [enter] button as, I've got the control backed up, then spent probably far more time that I should playing with the spindle positioning and the MPG


Unfortunately I'm back to work tomorrow, but tomorrow nights job is to hopefully get the bar feeder bolted down and plumbed in, at which point I might have to load it up and try the test program before I start modifying things for the parts I need.
