I have a similar issue I'd like to change.
I have a sticky spindle motor on a dental mill,
and sometimes it doesn't want to start. So I start
it using the spindle on/off toggle, and after it's
running, I start milling.
But when I start milling, the spindle is commanded off,
and immediately right back on. Most of the time the spindle
starts running again.
I'm going to see if I can change it so that the spindle
is not stopped when starting a milling operation.
(But that makes it real "interesting" when the tool-change
notice box comes up and asks you to insert tool #1!)
This isn't something that would be useful in the regular
release, but it'll be fun seeing if I can make it work.
