    How do I spin the spindle on my kmb-1 backwards?

    HI,

    SO I went to try out my new face mill tonight and realized that it is a counter clockwise unit. How do I spin the spindle ccw in conversational programming?

    THanks

    God bless...

    Negative spindle speed EG: -350 rpm.

    It doesn't take standard M-codes?

    M3 SXXXX forward
    M4 SXXXX backward
    M5 stop


    ???

    I wouldn't know as I have mine running under Mach 3 with a Smoothstepper. (I'm liberal with the use of the term running) All of my inputs and outputs are manually configured as I finish the setup.
