Nope..didnt know that. Then you would like those two mills that I
posted. One has a NMTB40 tool changer..Im not sure about the other.



I could be VERY interested. Before getting excited I need to see if it
can get into the basement shop space. Needs to go thru a 7' high door
and then run in a room 7' 8" high to floor joists and 8' 4" between
joists.

I know how this "it only needs a minor thing to run" BS goes. I'm
buying it as a dead machine. Most important thing for the refit is the
servo type. Need to know everything you can find on the servos. Look
to see if it has brushes or is brushless.

Neither machine will fit in a space less than 8' tall. In fact..they
are about ..about 9' tall.

Sorry old friend.

On the other hand...I do know of another machine, with a Fagor control
on it for about the same money that should fit. They stopped using
it when they discovered that their work came out oval while thread
milling..so one ballscrew has excessive backlass for thread milling.
Seems to work fine for linear cuts however.

It does have a tool changer...but I dont know for sure what tool
holders it uses.
