Ok look the sticker in the cnc back and tell me the model or when the cnc poweron, it´s an 8025TG or TG-I?.
If you want to uses it automatically you have to program a PLC and you can change the stations using the T command for tool change.
Let me now and I can help you.

I'm planning to use 8 position Omni-turn gang tool blocks with it.

The Turret has been gutted pretty good as who ever did the Fagor, made it to work in a fixed position with no turret indexing.

Does anyone know how to make this turret manually indexable? I pulled one of the covers and found one of the clippard valves gone, and the airline cut.

I think I may just unbolt the turret and swap it around 180 drgs when needed. If I drilled and tapped 2 more mounting holes I could get the other 2 positions. A pain I know, but at least I could get more mounting options.

It would be nice to be able to wire up a switch box and get to lift to where I could turn it, then have it drop back in place.
