Testing out a mill with a hydraulic tracer attachment. Milling a 1:1 copy of a toy figure in a block of scrap aluminum.

David, I have a lot of information on True Trace tracers, but I'm not familiar with the Line a Mill. So where are you at in getting it going?

[@craigwi1412]

I have one just like yours and trying to get it running, seems i have power to the solenoids but something keeps it from turning on the spindles and hyd. pump.
If you have any hints , thanks

[@Ivan4171]

Craig, I guess check all your wiring, the spindle and pump are controlled separately. I can send you a copy of the schematics if you need them.

I would love a copy or just a good photo or two would do. I got it all figured out as found out the heaters in the relays were tripping so I figured out the ones I needed and all seems to be working so far but have not had the time yet to fully learn the true trace part of the operation yet

Sure, send me a message to [e-mail]
