3.82 is (12/PI) it is where the Feet  in Feet per min get converted to inches and PI is needed to get the circumference.

Hope that is what you were looking for...

I would look at the state of the LED's

'M3 Macro
If (GetOEMLED(116)) Then
    MsgBox("Error   Spindle is on CCW"
    DoSpinstop()
else
    DospinCW()
end if

'M4 Macro
If (GetOEMLED(11)) Then
    MsgBox("Error   Spindle is on CW"
    DoSpinstop()
else
    DospinCCW()
end if

That should do it
And thank you Graham for the post! Love to see how other people get things to work.

Use a waterbased coolant to get the heat out and you should be good to go!

Try to use the SherLine mode on the ports and pins page and if it is still not working post your xml and I will see if I can fine the problem.
Thank you

You are going to need the software to get the servo's up and running... But you could (I think) turn them with the keypad on the drives.
