The New VMC 1300
I was looking at the specs on the New VMC, I see it has a much greater X travel than the Triac, though what happened to the Y? and how comes 125mm of X travel disappears with an ATC? that doesn't sound like many people will want ATC (so not many s/h examples will be available )
SOooo if I got my hands on a new VMC table and a longer ball screw would it fit my Triac??
pssst got any pictures of the ATC? I understand it's different than a Triac

The X travel is lost with the ATC option, because the new toolchanger fits to the end of the table.
This new toolchanger design reduces cost significantly, and remove the need for an air supply to the machine.
I don't know about the new table - its designed for use on linear bearings, so guess would need a lot of work to remove your dovetails

Hmmm, and I guess cos the carousel will hit the inside of the cabinet, seems a lot of wasted travel though (I understand you can detatch it but that defeats the object of having ATC...)The X travel is lost with the ATC option, because the new toolchanger fits to the end of the table.
Or machine dovetails in the VMC one.... something for a cold winter night.... maybe...I don't know about the new table - its designed for use on linear bearings, so guess would need a lot of work to remove your dovetails

cor you'll be wearing a beret next and peddling a bike with a strand of garlic around your neck wearing a black & white stripey tee shirtIs yours peppered with little faux pas
My table is completely free from little false steps & as good as the day it left your factory
I just liked the longer travel on the new VMC It's rather like marriage - you get married then along comes another woman with longer legs & bigger ****........ c'est la vie
longer travel would make it easier to cover the floor (& me) in coolant ah well it's a future possible project unless I find a Zerocentre at the right price
