Aligning with the regular H4 operations, I believe ensuring real-time monitoring of spindle speed and expressing G-code movements as a function of the spindle speed is important. This approach offers several advantages:
Adaptability to user's spindle speed: The system automatically adjusts to the spindle speed chosen by the user, accommodating variations based on the lathe model or material properties.
On-the-fly speed adjustments: Permits adjustments to the spindle speed during operations, such as increasing speed for more efficient roughing cuts.
Gradual speed changes to and from 0: Gradual adjustments of both spindle speed and G-code movements to bring them to a stop offer a safer alternative to the recent method of employing a "stop code when spindle speed is 0." This ensures a consistent finish while the cutter is engaged. This would help for instance to safely clear aluminum string nests.
It would also be possible to introduce a SPINDLE line setting in lathecode. Users would be able to input their anticipated spindle speed, enabling the system to still provide a G-code runtime estimation.
