For CNC machines equipped with a remote activated spindle, the M03 M-Command will activate the spindle in the clockwise direction. For CNC machines with a pulse width modulated (PWM) spindle, an additional parameter will set the speed, typically calculated in RPM.

Standard Format:
M03 S00000

The S parameter represents the desired speed.

Code Examples

In this example, the spindle will be turned on and then turned off with command M05.
