    Stoping spindle before tool change

    I'm currently trying to change the post processor to stop the spindle after an operation has completed but before the machine moves for the tool change. I'm not sure where to start in editing the post for this. I'm using the Fanuc post which I already modified to handle coolant commands.

    Regards,
    Owen

    Go to the @change_tool section of the GPP file. The most basic way would be to add a line just below the @change_tool line that look like this:

    @change_tool
    {nb ,'M05'}

    This will stop the spindle before changing the tool.
