General Mach Discussion / Mach3 Lathe doesn't stop spindle during tool change.

« on: January 10, 2014, 03:43:28 PM »

I am new at all things Mach3. I just got my lathe conversion going and I am having trouble with the tool change. I found the option in general config under Tool Change to "Stop spindle. Wait for cycle start", and I have that checked.  The lathe will make a move to a tool change position and wait, but the spindle will remain on. The spindle will turn off if I hit the spindle off button on the screen, and in manual cycle an "M5" will shut it off but not when a program gives an M6 T*********x.  I am sure I am missing something please help.
