Looking for a command to orient the spindle on the side X axis drilling tooling on a CST4500MT Horizontal Lathe. Note MT controller (Win2k base) running EIA progs. I can synchronous tap with these live tooling heads, so I think the machine knows where the drive keys are. I wish to bore in the X axis and orient, then make a no drag out retract. It should be a M19 or a M219, but these do not seem to work. I use M200, and M203 to start the spindles, and M205 to stop them. Mazak has yet to come up with an answer, so I am asking for help on the forums. Maybe a parameter change? Thanks in advance!:cheers:

Should be M19 regardless of axis. Be sure and engage live tooling spindle using MF1 and MF2+ C axis connect.
