Does the programmable tailstock on say a ST20 act like another axis? More specifically, do you command it to move + or - and with a feedrate, and how accurate is its motion?
Thanks

The M code for the tailstock is M21 advance and M22 retract. Setting 107 is your hold point. You can set this by hand jogging the tailstock until it touches the part. Add around .25 to the machine position and put it as your 107 setting. settings 93 and 94 set your restriction zone so that no programmed moves come through the tailstock and 106 and 105 I believe are usually preset but you can change them if you like . They are the retract point and what I call the part change point and are incremental from setting 107. Pressure must be above 125 PSI for the tailstock to seat correctly also. I found that out the hard way. Hope it helps out . Good luck and I will try and find my manual I know it has more in it.
