Ideal solution to me seems to alter tool table to allow a max rpm.
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/issues/2949
0rpm for a probe (or have another field that allows spindle to be enabled or disabled).
Face mills / larger tools would benefit from max rpm function.
(I am not capable of doing this sorry).

Thanks, I'll give that a go and report back.

Maybe this helps as an example:
forum.linuxcnc.org/38-general-linuxcnc-q...h-ui?start=20#299957
Note the above thread as such is a write off but the example component I presented there might be of interest.

Pippins idea is a really good one.

Given the lack of active developers you may be waiting a long time for a built in solution.
The point I was trying to make in the linked thread was that you can already do this by using an unused tool-table column and a python component to limit the commanded spindle speed.
[edit]
Actually if you use an unused tool-table column say 'w_offset' for max speed you would not even need a python component as that value is directly available as a hal-pin.

Nice idea. Will try to see if I can do something with it.

TO start with, I'm just trying to add the inhibit for tool 999.
Okay, I added:[DISPLAY]
USER_COMMAND_FILE=usercommand.py
As I am on LCNC 2.7 on the maho, I dont have spindle.0.inhibit, so I replaced that with motion.spindle.inhibit in my usercommand.py file.
#!/usr/bin/env python
prob_in_spindle = 0
def user_live_update():
global prob_in_spindle
#PROBE = T999 / T998
if s.tool_in_spindle == 998 or s.tool_in_spindle == 999:
prob_in_spindle = 1
hal.set_p('motion.spindle.inhibit','1')
else:
if prob_in_spindle == 1:
prob_in_spindle = 0
hal.set_p('motion.spindle.inhibit','0')
I have an INI entry:
[PYTHON]
PATH_PREPEND = python
TOPLEVEL = python/toplevel.py
I tried putting my usercommand.py in both the directory with the INI, and one down in the python directory. In both cases, there are no errors on start, but there is also no change in behaviour. It doesn't inhibit the spindle with T999 active.
I have struggle with this interface of multiple files and directories, and would appreciate your help pointing out which changes I need. Thanks.
Cheers,
Mark
ps... I wonder if my 2.7 Lcnc even has the global variable prob_in_spindle?

First I think you need to add this as a userspace component.
Then you need to have a loop in there as otherwise it will simply run once and then disappear.
Have a look at 'Basic Usage':
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/hal/halmodule.html
[edit]
2.7 was before my time so things may have changed a bit but these days you would also want to poll the status channel in the loop so your getting up to date information

I'm a bit worn out right now, so I have no idea if this works on 2.7 but you can give this a go and have a look at 'mycomp.spindle-inhibit' pin in halshow:
To load this add this to your hal file
#!/usr/bin/env python
import hal
import linuxcnc
h = hal.component("mycomp")
h.newpin("spindle_inhibit", hal.HAL_BIT, hal.HAL_OUT)
h.ready()
# create a connection to the status channel
s = linuxcnc.stat()
try:
while 1:
s.poll() # get values from the status channel
current_tool = s.tool_in_spindle # get curent tool-number
if s.tool_in_spindle and (s.tool_in_spindle == 998 or s.tool_in_spindle == 999): # a tool is loaded
h['spindle_inhibit'] = 1
else:
h['spindle_inhibit'] = 0
except KeyboardInterrupt:
raise SystemExit
To load this add this to your hal file
loadusr mycomp
