I couldn't find a Haas lathe forum so I'll post here. I have an SL-30 that we barfeed on. I have to manual change the tailstock hold point for each part that we run. Is there a way to change setting 107 in the program with macro or even g10?

No matter how good you are, there is always someone better!!!
You can rapid and feed the tailstock as a B axis instead. If you feed (G01 G98 F10.) from a rapid clearance point, it will work. According the my manual here, the F value doesn't matter, it will only move at one feed rate. Just check your SL-30's manual in the "operation" section, then find the tailstock section. This will work without using setting 107.
