Where is the beginning to try to understand what I need to do. Lets just say something as simple as the m55 button on the Screen how do ...

My question is why did they set up the Tailstock with one button? Why not have it like the chuck as in chuck open and chuck close?…. Tailstock out and Tailstock in
