Ah, I know what is happening. Stepgen normally does ramping, but the enable/disable input takes precedence. The spindle step generator is currently being enabled and disabled by spindle-on. That means that as soon as you say "turn off the spindle", the step sequence stops. To fix that, you want to drive the stepgen.3.enable pin with the same signal that enables the other step generators (X, Y, and Z). That signal is probably "machine-on" or something along those lines - start EMC, open a shell, and use "halcmd show sig" to see what signals you have.
