MIN_SPINDLE_OVERRIDE = 0.5 CUESTION

Axis doesn't even look for min_spindle_override.

Is there any real use for it? I can definitely see a need for a minimum absolute speed command, but not so much for a minimum (proportional) override.

Many other user interfaces do look for MIN_SPINDLE_OVERRIDE:

I can imagine that even half-speed could break tools.

If you want to use Axis rather than a different GUI which does support min_spindle_override, then I can see a couple of options:

1) Do something with the logic of spindle-at-speed, so that it is false if the spindle is not moving at a certain minimum speed, even if it is at the commanded speed. But be aware that when waiting for spindle-at-speed the system doesn't give much clue as to why it is doing nothing
2) Modify Axis to support minimum_spindle_override. Axis is written in Python, so it can be edited, and the changes will take effect. There is no need to recompilr or to have the rest of the source code.
2a) Persuade someone to make the changes in LinuxCNC itself. But that would take longer to filter down to your production machine.

I also understand how hard it is for developers to change something that was always like this.

It isn't developer inertial in this case, it is just that you seem to be the first to have been troubled by the fact that Axis doesn't do this.
