When I send a job created & toolpaths saved in V-carve Pro 9 I have to manually start the router but when the job is done V-carve will turn the router off. Am I missing something in the setup? When I create toolpaths in DeskCNC it will start the router by itself.
Also not related but still in V-carve, I noticed that when routing a pocket the toolpaths alternates clock wise & counter-clock wise which is fine but when it alternates the tool picks up to Z Home then back down and starts routing again. The videos I've seen on youtube the machines don't do that.
Thanks for the help.

Ok I'll try to get that tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest.
I'm using a variable speed router, I don't have a spindle yet so it would be different line right?
If you are using the standard Desk CNC Inch post processor, there are no commands in it to start and stop the spindle.
I'm guessing the DeskCNC is stopping the spindle when it sees an M2 at the end.
If that's the case, you need to modify the post processor to add the appropriate commands.

Gerry, thanks I'll look into doing that.
Do I need to add that on every job or it there a way to have it show up every time I import a job.
Thanks
