Hey everyone,
This is my 1st time posting on this site. Hoping for good advice! I'm setting up a mori seiki sl2500 lathe and am trying to use the sub spindle as a tail stock with a spring loaded center clamped in the jaws. Only problem is the turret will crash into the jaws unless I orient the jaws at C38.. So when I edit the program to do that (M245 code) it puts the machine in Milling mode and alarms out when the rough turning tool comes in. My question is is there any way to keep the sub spindle locked in that position while having the main spindle in turning mode?? Thanks in advance for any help.
