Interesting. With X, Y and Z, spindle on and off, and feed

Be careful with that spindle on button. Consider the situation
where you are doing a tool change and the spindle starts due to the
joy stick falling, something falling on the joystick, or hardware
malfunction.

Wes, I agree 100% and I will disable spindle on.

The machines I deal with are enclosed with a door interlock system, your machine is open.
