OK, here's the prodedure. I installed the belt from the bottom. Pull the bearing housing from the bottom of the head, unlock and remove spanner nut, and drop the bearings (there are 2, both taper...

Yes, I decided against that. Rather, I'll pull the nut after unbolting it from the head, and pull it forward with the screw in it to mount the new belt.
Thx!

Partner IV.
I have the bolts out of the bottom of the screw's bearing housing, and turning the timing pulley/gear drops the screw down and out of the top of the upper housing with the upper bearing....

Yep, we broke it today trying to get the Z to home. The Z is still trying to home in the negative direction, then hits the lower limit switch. It happened during a handwheel move. It looks like it...

We've installed hardrives on both machines (lathe and mill, Cent V's). Mike's looking for his 3.3 DOS discs. We want to convert to 6.1. That's his meat.

Mr. Pawelk
My friend called you a week or two ago in regard to the chip on the board being hard-coated. I contacted Milltronics about software but have not heard back yet. Is there a way to access...

JP, I have a similar situation, a long spell before firing up. We've replaced transistors on the lathe (ML-14 mid-90's machine), and a good motherboard installed. I still can't home, and getting a...

On the lathe, we're still having motherboard problems after replacing the 4 transistors from GlenTek. When I reboot it now, I get a 'RAM Init' error, and when it it goes to the diplay, I get a '117'...

X is supposed to home first, as it's displayed. I will try what you suggest when my tech blows back in. He's on the road.
Thx!

I neglected to mention that this was on the Partner ML-14 lathe, not the Partner IV mill. Both have Cent. V controls. There is no handwheel on the lathe. We tried 'home here' as well on the lathe,...

Got 4 new transistors from Glentek and put then on the board. Now, when homing, all operations stop at 'Homing X Axis' (already swapped out X & Z boards. DC motors energize and are locked up. Is this...

For Partner IV VM w/Centurion V. Socket 370 5-lot. A MB700L Industrial ATX would fill the bill.
Thx!

Edit for wrong axis nomenclature.

ML-14-Excess Error on the X. Getting way big numbers for position. Took it apart & found the problem. Sheared pin at the drive. Ordered 4 transistors (clamps) from Glentek for the board on the lathe....

Pulled a 3rd shift Friday night replacing the motherboard and power supply on the lathe. There's a bad diode and possibly 2 transistors. Z is maxed in. I need to find a way to move the crosslide back...

My bud came by today. The motherboards (lathe and mill) are eff'ed due to battery leakage. Time to upgrade. That's all I could get out of the conversation. He's getting the parts together. More to...

Many thanks for that! My buddy stopped by today and re-entered the shell/setup and got me back on track. He seems to make sense out of what is being conveyed here, but he had to go to Orlando. When...

"It sounds like you may also have corrupt or incomplete files on the hard drive, or Ram drive? There is also a lithium cell on those ram drive boards, if that is what yours has instead of a hard...

I lost everything I had gained yesterday. Like I said, I opened the front spindle cover and moved the Z well off the limit, then tried again. It would begin homing sequence. It starts to home Z,...

SAT! I was really pi$$ed at these machines yesterday. I wanted to edit my previous post, but the 'edit' button does not appear, so I'll apologize this way. I'm so close to getting them operational,...

Hi, y'all. Kurt V Wala here of Kurt's Kustom Firearms. I've owned a Milltronics Partner IV mill and Milltronics Partner ML-14 lathe for a few years now, and I'm trying to bring them up since...

Bought this running machine a few years back. Set it and wired it and watched the previous owner run it in my shop. I haven't played with it for a few years. I just installed new 3-phase service in...
