Yes, you can test the D480. What i remember it was not so hard to find the ladder. Hope you get it working.
I hope i will soon get my machine working, it will be interesting to see how fast or slow the system are when using the drip feed. Surface milling will probably be slow?.
I have remove the old turcite on table and now i try to scraping the new one. It`s time consuming. I have never done something before and i don't know if i get the good precision. But i think i have some work around if the table is not leveled with the spindle. After that i think i must remove the bearings and belts for the spindle.
If you learn the Fanuc control system maybe i can contact you and learn the basics. =) I have very hard to understand position system on this system.
