SPINDLE OPERATION
1. The Spindle can either be controlled using commands or by the spindle control buttons in the
controller interface.
NOTE: There will be a 10 second delay when the spindle is initially turned ON. This is to allow the
spindle to reach the correct RPM before executing any other commands. This is intended to protect
the machines components and optimize the cutting process. The user will be unable to perform any
actions during this time. The only way to abort this command is to press the “esc” key on the
keyboard.
