After noodling around the net I think that "TJ" was a typo and should
have been "1J" or "2J". *The mill is a Series 1 but has a DRO and
power feeds. *At this point I'm trying to determine whether it takes
R8 tooling or something else. *I get the impression that R8 was
standard in the old machines and 30QC and some other "30" designation
came later, in order to facilitate tool changes during CNC operation

Is this about right? *And, since I don't have any tooling anyway, does
it make a mousie's patootie? *Or should I be doing "hail marys"

Chances are overwhelming that it takes R8 tooling. Congrats. Let me
know if you are looking for a free PDF manual

Iggy. I would truly love a free PDF manual. In fact, at that price,
I'l splurge and take two! Thanks! However, I will need to send you
my email address. It is vtuck followed by an integer that is greater
than one and less than three wink wink. Then a secret symbol that
horses couldn't drag out of me is an ampersand. Then yahoo dot com.
I had to give up my own damned web page because it got so overrun with
spam as a result of posting to these groups. Die spammers! Sweetly,
Vernon
