Just download the plugin and place it in your macro folder (Version 2 is best option I think).

Zero the Z axis at a safe point and then MDI the following
G0Z5
M84 Q-20 P1.5 S200 R400
The M84 line will go to z-20 with rpm of 200 at 1.5mm/rev and then will retract at 400rpm at 1.5mm per rev.
Not sure if your spindle needs to be turning initially or not as I don't think I have ever used it without the spindle on prior to calling a M84
