    Tailstock programming

    Hi peoples! I hope this is the right forum to post this. I have a HwaCheon Hi-ECO-31a with a Fanuc 18-t controller. I am trying to get the tailstock to come forward and back off automatically.
    I currently have BobCAM for g-code and it is a VERY basic program. So I guess I need the fingerCAM coding to run the tailstock. Any helpers out there?

    Thanks in advance guys.

    you can try M25/M26 for the quill forward/back.
    You really need to reference the proper machine manual for your machine because many M-codes are machine-specific.
