The cuttoff slide was air over hydrolic to make it move smoother, just?get rid of it and use a cut off for a lathe that way you can put a little chamfer on the OD before you part off. I will do that. Collet closer is air.Hope you have the solenoids for it because they keep the collet closed

I have somewhat unreliable tool changes as well. Sometimes it'll miss the change entirely and spin two or three revolutions before the ladder times out. Sometimes it seems like it pops the stop too early, and catches the turret in the wrong position. Often I'll hear what sounds like the stop
