General Mach Discussion / Mill spindle safety switch

« on: January 04, 2009, 11:07:57 AM »

Hi
I am making a new spindle with a Dandrea quick change system for my Wabeco CC-F1410 LF high speed spindle mill.
At the same time I will fit a manual spindle lock . The problem I have is finding some way to stop the spindle from switching on when the lock is in place.
I need to know where to wire the micro switch which will be fitted to the lock pin so the spindle will not be able to power up either in cnc or manual mode.
Maybe disable the cnc mode altogether.
