i have a shaft part which with an od turndown, zc keyway, drill and tap face for 7/16 14 bolt. the problem i have is with center drilling the shaft, then stopping the spindle and advancing the tailstock before the od turndown. tool path is centerdrill, drill 3/8", tap for 7/16- 14, and then advance tailstock for od turndown. if i put m741 after the tap i get a an error because the spindle starts before tailstock moves to shaft. if i put m741 on the same line as the tap, tailstock advances before the tap cycle begins. am i putting m code in the wrong place? been working on this part all day and still cant figure it out. could the problem be that the tailstock/quill are not properly defined in setup?
