I purchased a 2010 TM-2 with 10 ATC.
Everything is working great, but there is this bracket (Pictured).
I can't figure out where it bolts to or what it's for.
Anyone?!?!?

TheThing with gray looking stuff all over it on some brown back ground and a black triangle in lower right hand bottom corner and some robot forgot to deburr the black hole looking dot?
:cheersn the machine.

I don't remember anything like that on my TM-2. Looks like a shipping bracket, door latch maybe?

[machinehop5]

Tool or Die works...had something to do with I'll bet for sure.

I have something like that on my VF0E.
It was for hanging the washdown hose on the back of the machine.
Yours is a bit smaller so I'd say it's for hanging your air line blow gun on.

Where is it bolted to the machine?

Check to see if you can mount it on the side front of the machine for your Vice Handle

Does your machine have a full enclosure?? most this age did not

That's the thing, it wasn't bolted to the machine. I assumed it was to hang an air line or T-Slot cleaner, but can't find where the hell it could mount. Don't really want to drill a hole.

Machine is not full enclosure.
The way it is constructed tells me it should be mounted to the right side of the machine, but there is no mounting hole there.Does HAAS typically suggest the owner drill holes for accessory items like this?

No normally all there accessories all bolt or screwed in place some are just clipped on, it may not be for your machine Give Haas a call they may know, 2010 had a chip Guard for around the table it may have attached to the right side of the chip guard

Every job there are parts left over.
Sweep them around 'til they 'disappear'!.

Ok looks like it bolts to the side of the control panel.
The air gun sort of hangs there, but I suspect the remote safety pushbutton thing is supposed to hang there. The guy I bought it from "altered" the thing and added a dead-man switch. I don't know what it us supposed to look like.

That's the safety switch that these machines required

[2ferrous]

Yeah, now I remember.
There was something just like that on my TL-1.
Sold it a year and a half ago though.
The bracket bolted to the side of the control panel and that irritating safety switch hung off of it.
