We received an excellent training session and some good pizza at the school compliments of Hurco and Rocky. This is the initial list of things to do and purchase. == Special Notes == * Better to use regular water with coolant as filtered/RO water tends to foam * Mark from Hurco zero'd the machine which is a one time thing - z=-17.9564 (I think) * WorkNC is the CAM software that Mark prefers * Type of collet chucks - CAT40 ER32 - Lengths can vary * A company called "techniques" I think he said - Could be a source for tooling donations * I took a picture of techniksusa.com which might be that tooling source he meant == Todos == * Establish a position on the intranet (request a static ip address) * Build a stable rolling tool shelf for collet chucks / work space * Evaluate how many additional collet chucks to purchase in order to stock the carousel * Meet and refresh ourselves on Start Up / Shut Down / and conversational programming * Create an axis cheat sheet for posting * Create a tooling chart that explains the what and why for the parameters that we end up choosing * Create a tooling gage block that prevents tools being put in that are too long * Create a special procedure for when we need to use tools that are too long for the carousel * Rainx on viewing window * Build our own touch tool with dial indicator? * Begin populating this wiki with information and how-tos for the machine * Get terminology correct and create glossary == Shopping List == * Couple of Edge Finders * Couple of touch tools (z axis) * Couple of dial indicators * 1/4" Drill Chuck (high precision?) * 1/2" Drill Chuck (high precision?) * Collet Chucks * Looks like Collet Chucks do not come with that little end that Rocky put on - might have to order those too
