The turret is stuck halfway through changing tools, and unlike Haas mills there is no recovery button to hit...
If I attempt to zero-return the A-axis It will unclamp (pops forward 1/4"), but then rather than spinning around looking for the home switch it will then hold position for a few seconds and then reclamp, and because its halfway between spots it never reseats completely. Then it alarms out "Alarm 2022 Turret Failure to Leave Clamp Switch"

There's an M-Code to unclamp the turret (M43) but it won't let me run that because the turret has not been homed.
I tried to physically turn the turret when it unclamps during the A-axis homing routing but the motor is holding its position so it wont budge.
I tried to manually unclamp the turret by pressing the test button on the clamp solenoid but it didn't unclamp. If I could get it to unclamp in e-stop the motor would be off an I could probably spin the turret and then restart everything.

I have a call in with Selway but I figured I might get a faster response here.
Any thoughts?
 
Selway wanted to send a tech, but I figured it out.

There is a parameter to turn off the A-axis motor, with the motor disabled I performed an A-axis zero-return and while it was unclamped I manually rotated the turret until it was roughly over a pocket. When it reclamped the curvic slipped into position, then I was able to home the A-axis and now its up and running.
