Another machine joins the stable...

Hi Phil,
Regrettably not yet. Having got as far as powering it on & determining the controller isn't booting, I've got as far as registering it with Mazak & got a quote for a reprint of the documentation (slightly over £300!), which I couldn't afford at the time... Since then, I've started to move into a new & even bigger workshop, so everything's been on hold for the last 6 months. I'm hoping to be fully moved by Christmas, then I've got a few other fish to fry, so with luck I'll be able to get back to it around February/March time.... fingers crossed.
So, at the moment, it's just a big green hulk of a thing taking up room. Fortunately, the new workshop will make it look a bit smaller, and therefore (maybe) more managable :palm:

Could be a good candidate for a LinuxCNC conversion.

Hi Ade,
Just remembered your Mazak acquisition and wondered if you ever made any progress ?
. . . . do keep me informed . . . . :thumbup:

As usual with one of my projects.... it’s on the long slow burn...
Basically, it was successfully moved into the new workshop, but not in a position where it could readily be used, or even accessed... I am slowly working towards it in terms of space, still a fair way to go though.
Some good news, I start a new job in March which will significantly boost available finances... so I should be able to get hold of those manuals, etc. And, with a bit of luck, I might even be able to make a start on cleaning it up, and some electronics tests...
So: TL;DR: usual amount of progress so far (none), usual plans for future progress (lots) :whip:

PS: As I am currently in Qixian, near Kaifeng, China... not a lot happening for another week! And as it’s Chinese New Year, everywhere is closed.... can’t even go tool shopping!
