    Default Trouble turning spindle on

    I write my Gcode using makercam which outputs a .nc file type. When I try to get this file to cut on the shopbot, it will go through all of the motions, but without turning the spindle on. I tried the Gcode converter within the shopbot software and ran into the same issue.

    Could anyone help me figure out what I need to add at the beginning of my files to get the spindle to turn on before attempting to cut?

    I have attached my example .sbp file for reference. Units are mm and spindle speed should be 14000.
