I like Alex's implementation - I'll leave it as the default on my primary
setup myself as I do prefer it to shutoff between changes most times.
But if I'm doing some simple jogging and need the spindle and some larger
exact moves I'd have a separate configuration I'd run for that.
Thanks for the quick action on that.

Hi Stuart,
this wasn't an AXIS limitation. but rather an emc/emc2 design.
I added an ini variable [EMCIO] SPINDLE_MODE
If you set SPINDLE_MODE to 1 it will cause the spindle to keep running
when changing modes, but also on abort (hitting escape).
The spindle stops if you hit ESTOP.
The default value for SPINDLE_MODE is 0, which causes the previous
behaviour.
This is available in TRUNK, and will be part of 2.3.x (if it's not
disputed/reverted by then ;)
Regards,
Alex
