There are several answers to your question, but I think the best one is you're just missing the M code to turn the spindle on at the beginning of your program. You program something like S1000 M3 if you want 1000 RPM. Another answer is that this (turning off the spindle when switching modes) is a goofy default that is now fixed in the upcoming EMC2.3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
