    Hi all

    I’m currently learning haw to usurp fusion 360, using the ooznest fusion 360 workbee.cps for generating gcode for my machine

    previously in aspire I could start and stop my machine and set the appropriate tool speed automatically without having to amend the gcode afterwards,

    Can anyone te me how this can be achieved in fusion 360.

    thanks

    On reading the 'workbee-duet.cps' v.1.01 I see that they have commented out all of the spindle speed output commands.
    According to Gcode the S word for spindle speed is a valid command so with a little uncommenting you can get S words in your Gcode output.
    uncomment line 70 and 242 and read your gcode output to make sure you are getting S words, usually near the M3 commands.

    I've been working on this for @Rob Atha - beta version attached.
    Had to change the extension to *.txt

    I would be grateful if someone more knowledgeable than me could find the time to see if I've made any mistakes - it seems to create valid g-code for the Duet.
    Alex.

    only thing I can see there Alex is that the spindle speed is only set for the first section (operation)
    change line 275 to fix that, such that any future spindle speed changes after the first section are honored
