Hi,

Is there a way to stop the spindle during a program to change inserts, check a size etc.? Fanuc OT control Romi 35 lathe.]

I doubt it is what you want, but if you want to stop the spindle at a fixed place in the program, just put a M0,but i assume you mean stop spindle anywhere in the program. In this case, you can put a lot of optional pause (M01), suppose one a each five block. That way, when you want to stop, you activate optional stop on the control panel, and five block later in the worst case, program will stop.
