Am I wrong about the 3mm Gap?
My question is about my friends mill, he just purchased an EMCO Concept 55 Mill with Tool Changer, (used). This gap on his machine is huge and I don't think this is right.
Looking for someone who runs or owns one of these machines to see if their gap is similar. Does anyone in this group have this type of machine?
Thanks
