The sensor photo you showed is a hall effect device.  You must have attached a magnet to the spindle for it to pick up - a photo of that would help.

Your spindle debounce is 1 x 40 us but the other debounce is set to 50  x 40 us which is 2 seconds!  Seems a bit long to me.

And what is the sensor picking up?

Sorry, I don't understand what you are asking.  I use the UC100 card for my lathe with Mach3 if you want a recommendation.

If you are asking what might be wrong with what you have, from the description it may be that the debounce time is wrong.  What sort of spindle sensor do you have?  What is the debounce tine set to?

Excellent!   Glad it's fixed and worth knowing that!

Here is some code (actually for knurling with a rotary axis) which I know works.

G00 X1 Y0 Z67.595
G91
G00 A5
F100
G01 Z-1.397
M98 p2000 L37
G00 X1 Y0 Z67.595
G90
o2000
G91
G01 X10.783 A97.297
G01 X-10.783 A97.297
M99

The main difference I can see is that the "o" in o2000 is lower case.

Ah, apologies, I misremembered, it was the mill tool table export/import that showed the file location.

I'll have to go and look at my tool setting macro, give me a couple hours.
