So we got a super nice Hurco that runs most of our parts. But we have "stupid parts" like facing operations that doesn't really need to be used in the Hurco. So we have this gem, it's a collet lathe that was converted into a CNC in the mid 90s. The guy who usually runs and programs it says it's odd because in software if you put .1000 it does .0500, so it halves the output dimension. (i also might add the guy who runs it is pretty cool and pretty smart) It also is rocking a Siemens Fryer controller, I have no idea what the original lathe was the shop also added safety features, like a hood to stop coolant from spraying. but anyway I thought it was super cool and decided to share.
