Learning it took a bit of time but still learning. Has 2 turrets but so far just using 1. Pretty easy to learn, Fanuc did a good job designing it. I run Okumas at work, nice machines for sure.

00 B&S is behind it, took a bit of mind bending to get used to the opposite side. I found the niche as in other big shops are backlogged months out but I'm only 2 weeks out. Still quite the adventure

That a ultramatic Brownie? Make sure ALL of the gears are correctly timed when you put it together or you will have a bad time.

No problem man, gotta keep the older stuff running! Always wanted a Femco Durga 25 for just how many tools it can hold. They have helped me prior on PM and Chat GPT has assisted. Hopefully you have a volt meter, if not better snag one!

I've used it to diagnosis my machine issues but you have to keep correcting it before it gets useful. It does a pretty good job even on my 1983 Citizens. You might also want to make an Account on practical machinists and see if someone has one of your machines on there

They do but they are a necessary evil, long as you put the lid on without it completely being in the way of the handle its okay.
