Hi, is there a way to test the spindle encoder, I had thread to do tonight but when the threading tool goes to the start position close to the part, the tool stays at this position and after a couple of second, I get an alarm that it can’t synchronize.
If I rotate the spindle by hand, I can see the A and B led from the encoder in the status page,
Thanks for any help, Jeff
Incorrect value set somewhere “fat finger” I call it.
I had the spindle rotation get set in reverse on a lath drill operation in Sprutcam yesterday!
I Have no clue how it changed in the cam settings. Best I can figure is I bumped the mouse or keyboard when it was highlighted! 
Your running code and instantly something is wrong! Broken bit, and tool post out of alignment 5 seconds later.
Go to here.
Spindle encoder
Type ADMIN ENCODER TEST
To run encoder test.
This admin encoder test command does not work on the lathe
Thanks, I tried with many programs, and it does not work.

Ok, replaced the encoder and threading is working now, got some help from Tormach, Thanks
