A axis brake issue

[nervis1]

When I post an index program I get the a axis brake on and off fine. I posted a wrap toolpath today, contour of some 2d geometry with rotary axis substitution and got the A axis brake coming on at the start of the program and staying on.

I'm using MPMaster_Fadal as the post.

Anyone know how to get the brake to stay off during an A axis continuous toolpath and come on with A axis stops like in indexing?

nervis1, on the Fadal, M60 is A axis brake ON, M61 A axis brake OFF. So use M61 or delete M60 at start of wrap program, do it w caution, I think you will be fine.
