I really don't want to do this because I will be using CSS. There is a very large overlap of speeds but I would prefer to manually (in the code) select a gear and stick to it. The last thing I want to happen is the spindle to suddenly stop and change gear halfway through a cut. > You'd probably have to use M100-199 user controlled commands. The docs on this are a bit sparse but it looks like I should be able to use a halcmd in few shell scripts to set the appropriate pins.
