I followed the recent YouTube video posted about using Intercon to flatten slabs. Everything went exactly as it should with the G-code generation and part zeros. However, when I run the job, the motor won’t spin, but the machine will run the toolpaths.
Any ideas where im going wrong? I can draw jobs in Aspire, export and run them, no problem, but the motor won’t spin up this time around after following along with the video.
Did you add a spindle start command in your program?
You can also check out this thread:
I have header, tool, face, and program exactly as the video I assumed after entering the feed rate and spindle speed in the facing section that it would automatically handle that portion. What am I missing?
Post the g code here and I’ll check it for you
Nevermind, I spotted your issue:
You toggled the spindle to be off. You need to click that until it says “CW M3” (this stands for clickwise M3) M3 is the spindle start command.
What you have right now is M5, which is “spindle stop”
I ended up using your slab slayer tool, which works flawlessly. Thank you.
Will give it another try next time the way you showed in your video now that you pointed out spindle was off. Thank you.
Oh sweet! Glad that worked for you!
