Right. Let's get this machine ready to refit the enclosure. It's working convincingly enough to make me feel I can risk it. So I'll need to disconnect all the cables and hoses that come up the drag chain from the carriage. They have to be threaded through a hole in the enclosure, so there's no way round it.
I need to fit the blanking plate at the tailstock end first, as it won't be possible with the enclosure in place:
And there's a lot of cleaning to be done. Like all the years of glop on the turret housing. WD40 and a white scouring pad should do the trick.
That's better.
On it goes.
It's held in place by the 2 snap lock hose couplings.
Next, remove all remnants of the crappy mastic stuff under the enclosure.
Carefully note (photograph) the limit switch connections:
And the turret position switch connections.
And the turret solenoid line:
Then remove the hoses for the turret hydraulic flow and return:
There. All disconnected and sort of out of the way:
Let's get this thing lined up and ready to go back on.
Ready for the enclosure....
