If you switch to hocut 795 your mill will always look brandnew inside n u can tap with it. Plus no more bacteria..and its easy on the hands if your in it alot.
Hi and thanks for uploading your videos I enjoy watching them. Would you mind telling me what’s the largest part you have milled on your F80? and would you mind showing us what the rear of the machine looks like, I’m interested to see if it flat along the back? Many thanks keep the clips coming👍
Nice overview. I had to help out on some repairs for these machines. The special limit switches for XYZ broke down. A little hard to find. Surprisingly I got the genuine switches from Ebay no probs. Also had problems with coolant affecting flexible cables to XY limit switches. Machine would not index. Coolant made the sheath go hard, crack, then wires went open circuit in the cracks. Had to re-run fresh multi-core cables from the table to the screw term blocks in the rear. A bit fiddly, but doable.
The Ref Drive problem is comming from your Switch housing position. It is a pit to far away from the ref point stone. So if you drive to fast The stone move over the switch without touch it deep enought. Enjoy your machine and greetings from Optimum Germany
Hi Luke, You give me the Information to use F360 for this Maschine - works great! Optimum Service always verry helpfull all the Time, one call solve the Problem. Tip - if the Z in G0 makes noise change the bearing under the Silver Protection cover. Its a 6003 2z . Our F80 now is silent like Never before. Is it possible to change More than 10 tools in this Maschine? We canˋ t find a way to use more than the 10 tools in the Magazine / or to measure them . Verry Hard to write this with german iPad 😂 Greetings from Bremen Germany - please make more videos 👍
Windows glass or prespex? If they are glass, try white vinegar. my windows went like that on our dmg and nothing would shift it except vinegar. I made a 10/1 water vinegar mix, sprayed it on, let it sit for 5 then wiped it off

Hi Luke, came across your videos whilst doing some research on this machine, sounds like your pretty happy with it. Do you know of any auto probing addon for the machine preferably with tool measuring ability also? like you we are not machinists but use Laser cutters, laser markers & the same 6040 you have, heavily modded also.
Hey mate yes there is a company in Tasmania that did add one to their machine, they are called IgniteDigi, not sure if there is info online about it but they certainly added one!
Deus Ex Machina great congrats. Run conservatively, double check offsets, don’t let distractions interrupt what you are doing. If in doubt stop and check the setup ;) oh and rigidity is everything!
It's great, still using it till' this day. When it's very cold in the workshop the oil inside gets a little viscous and it won't reset. A quick blast with the foot heater and it's back in action. Ready for more inappropriate touching off ;)
