When running Mach 3 the spindle doesn't want to work. But the manual controls for moving different Axis works correctly. When Mach 3 isn't running I can power on the spindle manually, but when Mach 3 is working the spindle doesn't want to work.

There's a lot of questions unanswered that make it pretty hard to determine your problem. Was it working before? Or, is this a new build than you're trying to make it work? Is Mach 3 configured correctly (ports/pins)? What controller and or breakout board? Does it have a built in SSR to control the spindle? Are you using a VFD or other means to control the speed or just simple on/off?
The machine is a simple 3040 desktop. The spindle was working before.
