When you send the tailstock out with an M function (as in a program), it needs verification that it has extended to where it is supposed to be. Typically there is a panel on the side of the tailstock facing the operator. Behind this panel are two swtiches for tail stoack back and forward. You need to adjust the forward switch or actuator so the control sees it and verifies your M function.
