Only 3 flexi's so you're probably correct, no homing.
That may impact on the new software.

My little TCL160 is still plugging along. Life has thrown a whole series of tragedies at me since I started this thread but hopefully that's all behind me.
Has anyone ever mounted a face plate to a 160 ? I need to turn a taper into a couple of sprockets and they're too big to hold in the 80mm chuck.
Would it be possible to hold one in the chuck or is that too sketchy ? Failing that, I presume I need to find out the register for the spindle and get one turned. I had to buy a new 80mm chuck from Boxford to get a set of outside chuck jaws as none came with the machine, but I can't recall the brand of chuck they supplied. I seem to recall it was a Bison-Bial ?

Have you considered threading the largest bar you can fit in your chuck with a conveniently available tap thread size and making a face plate on a parallel shank which you can hold in the chuck?
You think that's too expensive? You're not a Model Engineer are you? :D
