Hey Wompser from the past, it's Womper from the present. Ya big dingus, you let the backup battery die because you forgot to remind yourself about it... and now I've had to reload EVERYTHING again. ...

Great! Hope it works for you. The nice thing about it is that this post processor will help you keep your file sizes down. That may not be an issue if you are doing only simple parts, but I'm using...
Just to close the door on this one: it's fixed!
It was a little anti-climatic in the end even, it just worked. I wound up re-installing PathPilot and running all the updates, just to be safe...
RE-PC to the rescue!
I was stressing about this, but it was super straightforward. I bought one of these motherboards, used: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H87MPLUS/ I think it took under...
Yes, I spent a lot of time yesterday researching various motherboard and CPU combinations... It is surprisingly difficult to build a new low-spec machine. The driver issue is a real one too.
...
That's not unreasonable. I'm really trying to make sure to minimize potential areas of failure. The last thing I need is to make parts that are out of spec as a result of something weird with the...
A few days ago my Path Pilot control failed to boot, it just did nothing when powered up. Thinking it might be the power supply, I bought a replacement, but the power supply was apparently not the...
I'm still plugging along at this. I may be the last guy left on the planet running one of these machines, but just in case anyone else is reading this, attached is my most current Fusion 360 post...
Update for anyone following along. After getting this working, I was able to use the lathe to make some pretty killer titanium fountain pens. (you can see them on OCTODYNE)
But I moved shops,...

that is actually quite cool, and would save me the hassle of digging out an ancient laptop with the PCIN software. I'll need to get the appropriate cables to make it work, but thanks for sharing. ...
No, I really don't know anything about the noise protocols. I would think that if it works for the TEA1 and other files, it should work for all files. I guess that you could check your cable to...
I'm afraid i really don't know enough about it to be of much help. looking at the two files, the obvious first difference is
$$$
!830D
I'd delete those two lines.
but I don't know why...
Sorry, I don't understand.
are you asking if I can post the %PCP file so you can use it on your own machine? I'm pretty sure that would not work, as the parameters are likely specific to the...
Update for posterity: I have now figured out the collet clamping issue! From another forum pcasanova recommended:
try mda/mdi not sure what machine would call it and enter
H1 M99
or...
Hello Allenj20, I'm wondering if you ever got clarity on how to enable the collet chuck. it sounds like the same problem I am having with a 810T control. (my lathe is a 320, but very similar) I...
So… I think I have solved this problem. But first of all, let me say I couldn’t have done it with out the input from people on this board, and others. For the benefit of anyone else who comes...
for reference here's a picture of the tool turret. You can see the original witness mark and the one that someone clearly made afterwards... why would someone need to do this?

Could really use some help on this, I'm afraid I'm stuck, and don't know what else to try.
So, I've replaced the contactor and 2 fuses that went out when it burned up, and I'm back where I was. ...
I have an emcoturn 320 as well that I'm trying to get up and running. I do have all the original paper tapes and digital copies of tea1 tea2 and PCP files. if you still need them send me a note and...
Updates: Someone has mucked about with this turret before!
In the process of trying to clear the errors up, I took the turret cover off to better understand if I could reset it manually. There...
So… this may turn into a lengthy thread. I’m looking for help with a few problems regarding getting an EMCO-MAIER 320 Lathe (GA01, from the late 80s or early 90s) up and running with a Sinumerik...
Update FIXED!!! well, partially anyway.
So, there's a couple of things I figured out:
1. My PC was the problem. After trying a couple of different computers, I was successful with a...
Thanks for your offer to help! I'd imagine that our two machines are pretty comparable, at least the control should be. I'm not 100% sure of the year of my lathe. it did come with a TON of...
One other thing. When I run PCIN the status down at the bottom looks like this:
PC SIN PC SIN
RTS STOP CTS DSR ...
Hello forum,
I’m having some difficulty with my EMCO 320 lathe. It has a Siemens Sinumerik 810T control version GA01
The machine is new to me, however I saw it working in manual mode at it’s...
hello everyone,
I recently purchased a very nice older example of the popular Rong-Fu mill (mine's an enco). despite the inherent design comprimises of the mill, I'm pretty pleased with what...
