    Bridgeport VMC 1000/22 Heidenhain, stupid question

    So I just got a pair of these to replace some of my older machines[see other threads] and I don't yet have an operators manual.

    I cannot for the life of me figure out how to manually put a tool in the spindle. There is a button near the head for the purpose, but there must be a sequence I am unaware of

    TIA

    The machine may want to be in a safe mode. Try doing a M25, then using the tool eject button. There is the outside chance that the switch is bad or has a broken wire.
