PRIME MOTIONSpindle
Settings → Spindle describes the spindle or router on each machine.
Machine
Configure spindle for — the machine these settings belong to; the active one is marked (active). Editing another machine's spindle says Editing name — these values take effect when it becomes the active machine.
Spindle Selection
Spindle Preset — Carbide Compact Router (CCR), Makita RT0701C, DeWalt DWP611, 800W VFD Spindle, 1.5kW VFD Spindle (ER-11), 1.5kW VFD Spindle (ER-16), 2.2kW VFD Spindle or Custom. A preset fills in all its attributes.
When the router's speed is set on its own dial, a banner says so: This machine's router speed is set on its physical dial — S-word RPM commands in G-code have no effect on the spindle.
Spindle Attributes
Voltage, Cooling, Collet Type, Speed Control, Minimum RPM, Maximum RPM, Spindle Diameter and Power. For a preset they are read-only; choose Custom to edit them.
Timing
| Field | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Spin-Up Delay (sec) | 3.0 (0–30) | The pause after the spindle starts, before the program continues: after a spindle start, after a tool change restarts it, and when a held job resumes |
Pause uses the controller's hold and parking sequence. Its firmware controls the retract distance; there is no app distance setting.
Tool Panel
These two switch controls in the manual Spindle drawer on Control, for every machine:
| Field | Default | Shows |
|---|---|---|
| Coolant Controls | Off | The Flood, Mist and Off coolant buttons |
| Reverse (CCW) | Off | CCW. Turn it on only if the machine is wired to reverse |
Notifications
| Field | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| RPM Change Popup | On | Shows Spindle with the controller's new RPM when the reported speed changes |
