Title: Is there a way to change m5 such that there is no "dwell" when spindle turned on
Post by: seanreit on November 04, 2008, 06:05:38 PM

Say I put an edge finder in the machine and then set spindle to 2000 RPM and hit "spindle".  It takes about 5 seconds before I can jog to a new position.

I need that to be zero, cause when I try to tap at the bottom of the tap, the machine runs the spindle in reverse, bud does not feed back up till it runs the spindle for about 5 seconds destroying the threads I just put in.

Config menu then Ports and Pins then Spindle Setup, you can set the spin up/down  delays there, put it to 0 and it should be almost instantaneous.
