I use a variable speed 1 hp Grizzly Router for my spindle. Can Mach 3 be used to start and stop the motor when the cycle start button is pushed ? And just how would I go about doing that if possible?  |

| Yes, you need to get a relay board and wire it to an output pin. Then just configure Mach3 to use that pin for Spindle on (on the spindle page of ports and pins, I think.)
