Hopefully I saved some newbie like me to 1997 vintage Cincinnati Mills the headaches I went thru!
FINALLY, here is the magic solution
1- Turn on Power to mill
2- Press green on button once (keyboards lights goe on if few secs)
3- After programs ar all loaded, turn off ESTOP
4- On Pendant press Data Reset
5- Press in and HOLD Green Power button (not green one on pendant)
6- After you hear motors on, KEEPING GREEN BUTTON DEPRESSED, select the button above the DIAL on pendant, it should light up, select the axis that has over traveled, and turn dial VERY SLOW, but MAKE SURE you are going the correct direction or you could damage machine!! drive in and inch and you should be able to let go of power button and start alignment (press ALIGN, it should light, then press & hold F1, antil all axes have moved.
7-You need to make sure #1 tool holder is in line with the spindle.
