Newbie- spindle did not run

[bob b]

Hi i was running my nm145 yesterday i used NFW to cut pocket , wasn't sure watched tutorial and got answers . I went down to machine set it up to cut a 3.5x6 pocket in a piece of oak .500 deep posted code hit cycle start and away it went ! I decided to cut some slots ,so i used NFW for cutting key . I posted the code , set and zeroed coodinates left z axis up to cut air to make sure it was going to do what i wanted so i hit cycle start and sequence started, except spindle did not turn on so i stopped it . I rechecked posted code and did not see any m code in the begining ,reposted and tried again same thing so i just hit spindle start and hit cycle start! one more thing spindle speed did not post in rpm window after i posted code. i am almost positive it did after i posted to cut pocket any help would be appreciated thanks bob b
