Utilities Menu? - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

Under my utilities menu when I try to setup a fixture # it asks for a tool diameter (0.200") and a spindle speed (S1000). When I try to jog to position to pick up a corner I cannot start the spindle. What do I need to do?

Thanks,
Don

Hold the shift key down when you push the spindle on/off.

Ah Ha! Thank you, that did the trick!

I read through the manual but I don't remember seeing that in there.

Thanks,
Don

No problem. I guess they don't want you to 'accidently' turn the spindle on by bumping the on/off button.
