Joel,
Congrats on a superb effort and end result!
 
I read thru each of these pages intently as I have two similar machines.
They are a bit newer, Kryle's, similar size, same type tool changer, but linear ways, 16 tools, and Fanuc 0M with red cap AC motors.
My plan is to retro them as you have done with yours. The parameters have been messed up and/or lost in the 0M controls, and no luck
getting them back in correctly.....just as well, I hate Fanuc controls.

One question I have for you, could you use a servo on the tool carousel and treat it as an axis in Mach?
My machines have a small Fanuc servo to operate the carousel.

Also, the spindle orient situation:
You were getting within a few degrees with the AC motor alone.
How about a tapered "shot pin" arrangement operated with a small air cylinder that would pull the spindle into perfect position?

Just some thoughts as I will face the same challenges with my project(s)

Thanks

dan k
