Beaver NC35 Mill

[m_c]

I'm not sure if any of those who has experience of those mills are still around this site.
.
The Yasnac control could pretty much be described as an antique, however if it still works and meets your requirements, then I wouldn't go rushing out to replace it. I would however plan for doing a retrofit at some point.
.
What kind of toolchanger is it? One arm bandit aka Summit? If it is, I do have a manual, although it is for an early design, but the same basic movements apply.
.
Have you tried having a search over on the practical machinist forums?
If you can ignore all the idiots who think anything more than 10 year old or non-big name is rubbish, there are some helpful guys who know about older machines.

M_C,

I wasn't sure if I would be lucky enough to come across someone with experience, but I figured this would be a good start. From what I have seen the controller does work, and for right now it will do what I need it to do. I am going to look into a retrofit down the line, but that will have to wait until many other projects are finished. The tool changer is a one arm style as you mentioned. Any manuals, or advice that I can get is greatly appreciated. I have tried doing a search over on Practical Machinist, I found some answers, however it is the typical "not a HAAS, not a Bridgeport" nonsense as you mentioned.

"not a HAAS, not a Bridgeport"

:-)
Just think of the Beaver as a Bridgeport but built properly ;-)

I have the Yasnac MX1 manuals for a Matsuura.
