    Here's the problem right now. When the lathe starts up, it says that I have to home the tailstock and X and Z axes. I have to hold OT release to move the X and Z axis at all. I can not get them to register home position, I have checked the home and overtravel switches and they work.

    The tailstock only moves away from the headstock, it will not move toward it. But I tested the relay and the hydraulic solenoid valve on the other direction and they work. Also, when I press "T-" the button press shows up in the Diag panel as one of the bits toggling 0->1 but the LED on the button does not come on. "T+" LED does light up.

    Also, the turret change function used to work but does not work any longer...

    Hmm... Not my favorite control right now, there's so little documentation.

    Power Down Machine. Power Back Up, Put in Jog Mode, Move the Z axis 1" Minus, Move X axis 1" Minus, Press X axis Home, Then Z axis Home. The tailstock Will Only Move If TRAV button is pushed with the T- Button together.
