Ok, here's my delema.
My boss just bought a used Mazak Quick Turn 8 lathe. Really nice & clean.
It powers up, looks great.
There are 2 issues I've been recruited to "Fix".
#1 - Alarm #23 - Low battery: Where is the battery located? I looked in the back but couldn't find it.:mad:
#2 - Hydraulic Chuck: There is a threaded 'tube' extending past the spindle nose aprox 1-5/8". This 'tube' threads into a female 'bearing' that spins freely inside the backside of the chuck. When I thread the chuck onto the tube, there is still a 1/2" gap between the chuck back, and the spindle nose. The chuck does not seat up against the spindle nose flush. What am I missing? Will the six bolts pull the chuck up against the spindle nose?
I'm befuddled..
Any expertese is appreciated.
