Fanuc 0 M - Spindle Stop

[Uncle Buck]

When running a program and needing to index the carbide inserts, my machine will not stop the spindle...

is there a paramater that will enable me to press my spindle stop button and stop the spindle and then be able to restart the spindle after the indexing of the inserts has happened, and then continue with the program?

thanks

Normally that function would be written in to the ladder by the machine tool builder.
to allow a manual stop during a M3/M4

I have seen some machines (can't remember if on Fanuc though) where you can hold feed-hold for a few seconds, and the spindle will stop. Worth a try though.
