  2. Re: Retrofitting a Fadal with a new controller. Where do you interface new to old ?

    Running Fadals can be bought so cheaply not sure why you would want to retrofit a Fadal.

    Re: installing new resolvers alignment

    Install the resolver, align the marks, do a cold start. Likely the marks will not align, so rotate the resolver until the marks align, same as Z axis

  9. Re: 1996 4020ht - new to me, much maintenance required

    There's somebody in Aus who rebuilds spindles, he goes by 'Machtool', maybe here, and certainly on other forums. He's mentioned Fadal spindles in the past, so I believe he's rebuilt them.

  11. Re: Fadal Mill Z stroke is too short so I can't reach the vice

    Is it possible you have a machine with extended Z, and for some reason it thinks it's a machine with standard Z height? You can check what it is in the parameters

    Re: Repaint and Reseal Fadal Enclosure

    LOL, a word to the wise, sealing an RV is a much harder task then sealing a CNC. If a product seals an RV that has temp swings from 40f-110f then it's going to seal a cnc enclosure just fine.

    Re: Repaint and Reseal Fadal Enclosure

    Not on a machine, but on RV's, it stays pliable regardless of conditions. Plus as an adhesive it works very well, so it sticks and seals very well.

    Apparently Sikaflex is what Haas uses (fwiw)

    The bore of the Aluminum cylinder is 1.128", the o-ring is on the steel piston. The area of the bore is 1.0in2, so 1000# of force will read 1000# of pressure. The bar across the top goes across the...
