Lathe pauses at N21

Below is the begining of a file from Fusion360 processed with the Linuxcnc turn processor with default settings. Running it on a small sherwin clone, no spindle control.

The X,Z moves from centered zero point to the start of the N21 line where I expect a cut down the Z axis but machine pauses and waits. What is it waiting for??

The sample pawn file works BTW.

The F is the feed rate, in this case 0.005 inches hopefully and even that is painfully slow, in MM it will reach the final depth in about a year!

by using the G95 above though isn't that a calculation by spindle revs? So spindle set to 500 rpm so that's 2.5" a minute

Ooops, i missed that.

At a guess the system is waiting for spindle-at-speed to be set true.

Do you have that configured in your HAL?

When setting up the machine in PNCconf. I have "include spindle" unchecked. and I only have x,z axis enabled.

Looking at HAL, I can't really see where this would be defined. I am still in the infancy stage of learning. Attached is my simple HAL.



Thanks for the help.
