    new guy with a cnc lathe general questions

    I am new to the CNC Forum.
    I picked up a Bullard 3000 CNC lathe with bar feed on Ebay last fall. I'm just now getting it working. My last experience with CNC was allmost 20 years ago when I ran a CNC Power Hawk mill. I didn't think it was going to be this difficult to get this thing running. There are no manuals! I looked up basic g codes on the Internet and have done some basic programming, turret change, spindle, x-z axis motion. Good for manual chucking operations, but I need it to work in full auto.
    The problem I am having is finding the codes for chucking , unchucking, and barfeed. If I can get this, I may be able to get some parts out of this thing.

    Hint: do a google search for "Bullard 3000 CNC lathe"

    Did it and found a gaggle of them here:

    With that many to sell, they might, just MIGHT, have a manual to copy or know where one can be procured.

    Look DEEP into the google thing. You'd be amazed at what you can come up with....
