We bought this at an auction for a great price, got it back to the shop and installed it, worked out the electrical bugs..and.....its all greek to me. I am used to NumROTO and standard G code for grinding tools, but nothing seems to relate here. Tried to resharp an endmill, and it probes, but after that says a feedrate is set to zero (which if you look at the operations it is not). Any ideas from anyone with experience in these machines?

Have you tried contacting the machine builder for training? These machines are not 'self learner' friendly. You will need training. Even the training manuals are not meant to teach yourself. The 400 series has alot of bugs that come up on a regular basis and need an experienced operator hwo knows how to overcome the bugs. That being said, the 400 series where work horses and are great machines for certain things.
Where are you located?
