Hi I have some documentation and all scanned, I can share with you if you like, but it’s all in German.
I never plugged the machine in before retrofitting and it was the plan from the beginning, so I didn’t ask much about the machine.

Thanks for the kind offer. Good idea, I should model all of the Schaublin (and Maho) way wipers.

i would love to have them even in german... my email is xmpantazos@gmail.com

You‘ve got mail,

it took me a while, but gear change is now running in combination with a range of the vfd.
Still need to implement the macros and understand how to set up the tools. Especially how to use a drill as a boring bar.
And how to implement the gears in the post processor.
but I am quite happy now. als looking forward to rum my first program on the machine.
