Could anyone tell me which part of my post turns on the spindle on the first line after the tool call command.
There are NO m3 spindle starts in my programs. The M is no there on the first L xy line.
Also , anyone know of any tutorials on using the pp software so I can fumble my way through.


Thank you

You need to call the command @start_tools immediately after a tool change.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@change_tool ;
{nb, '(* TOOL 'tool_number ' - DIA 'tool_diameter '*)'}
{nb, 'M9'}
{nb, 'T'tool_number, ' M6'} ;change tool
call @start_tool
xpos = xnext
ypos = xnext
zpos = tool_start_plane
call @rapid_move ; generate G0 block
direction = CCW
endp



@start_tool
if direction eq CCW then
mcode = 3
else ; CW
mcode = 4
endif
{'S'spin:integer_def_f, ' M'mcode}
endp
