    I believe I have a couple spares here somewhere but it’s possible they were for a vmc15xt.

    When you power on the machine the ts27r should already be turned on you can verify by using the m codes

    Re: Sliding door rail replacement

    Most of the ones I’ve seen just seem like cold rolled steel but I’ve never seen a brand new machine.

    Re: Thrust bearing arrangement Fadal

    I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure they are supposed to be face to face so that way the shin actually adds preload on the bearing once the bearing clamp ring tightens.

    Fadal VMC15 XT 3 Phase to single phase

    Sorry that’s a picture of the transformer in his machine not mine. But mine has one too as so many other machining centers. I’m gonna guess you don’t have experience with too many of them.

    Do what you will you probably will not notice the derating of the power. You don’t need a special transformer if you are comfortable changing taps on it.

    Re: Powering vmc10

    You don’t need a converter. If your voltage is stable under 245v you can wire it up single phase. Easiest with a single phase transformer but it could be done with the normal 3phase transformer.
