I think my turret woes may have something to do with the thick oil caused by cold temperatures that cause the turret to turn a little slower and just missing the index. I ordered new O-rings from Hardinge anyway. Their price for O-rings it good, but there is a minimum $30 order. I ordered every non-standard O-ring I could find in the catalog to bump the order to over $30.
While I wait for the parts, I am moving forward with other little items that need to be addressed. Neither of the electrical enclosures on the ends of the stand have any kind of air venting. Now that I have two VFDs in one box and my computer in the other, I new I had to address that issue.
I dropped by my local surplus store (Halted) and picked up a couple of muffin fans and grills. I installed one fan and one inlet grill in each enclosure. I have the fans pulling air out of the enclosure and mounted the inlet grills (with foam filters) on the outside and opposite the fans. Having the inlet grills on the outside (and the front of the machine), lets me see more readily if the grills need cleaning.
