    The Fault F602 is open Phase / lost Phase or Power problem unbalanced phase to phase power supply, but that just might be the unrelated result of a contactor dropping out killing power to the VFD...

    Re: TorqCut 22 Transmission

    If it's holding oil I wouldn't be to eager to tear into it. The Rotac cylinder however, can be rebuilt with a seal kit which will improve high/low shifting. I think they run about 75 bucks. In...

    Re: Bridgeport TorqCut 22 Rebuild

    +1 on the BPT Parts recommendation. They've always had everything I need to keep my TC30 running.

    Re: Torq Cut 22 pull studs?

    Yes that's the solid one that I use. The final one digit in the part number must not have made it into my copy/paste, but I do recommend the 01401751 if you are using it on a collet holder since the...

  11. Re: What kind of tap holders do I need for a Torq - Cut 22

    Honestly I just use an ER collet and holder on #8 to 5/8 inch threads. Bigger than that I generally use a thread mill from LakeShore Carbide. I haven't had the best luck with smaller ones due to...

    Re: Torq cut 22 axis move to far

    I like ours, but the rigidity on the Z axis is the week link in my opinion, and any 3D machining gives her a real work out and the spindle really screams at top end, but eventually it will get the...

    Re: Torq Cut 22 Hard Drive question.

    I've had good luck with the IPCAS 1.40i software. The Floppy/USB Emulator drives on Ebay seem to be mostly bundled with Chinese language software, but the hardware works great on my TorqCut.
