How we replaced the spindle wiring on the Willemin 408MT
This is our Willemin 408 MT. It’s a 2004 model and I bought it almost a year ago, and then it came a few months after that.
We were all excited and we ordered the bar feeder as well. To get it all put together took many months including getting power to it, And you know we’ve had a lot of other projects on the go, and then we finally got it started and then there’s little alarms and errors that we’ve had to get through. Then from there bit by bit we just kept testing things, do a lot of tool changes to see what works. Tested the swivel to see what parts we’re missing what parts we need. It did come out of a running shop but after things kind of sit for a year, things need to be loosened up and replaced.
