Hello all, I am setting up a (new to me) router. I have all the axis motors and I/O working properly. When I first started the spindle M3S5000 it powered up and ran to speed, The dwell LED continues to flash for several minutes. I entered M5 and the spindle stayed powered up. I hit reset and the spindle stopped. I wrote a small program (below) and it looks like the problem is actually with the G04 timer.
Spindle dwell parameter is 0
N10 G04 P5
N20 M3 S5000
N30 G04 P5
N40 M5
The program hangs at N10 so the spindle never turns on, The dwell LED flashes till I hit reset.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?
Thanks in advance, Dave
