I was wondering if anyone has an idea on how I could increase spindle RPM using a macro based on the speed the spindle is already running at?

I had something like this in mind:

#3027 + 100 M03

I'm hoping to use this to increase the spindle RPM by 100 from whatever speed it's already at, 0, 500, 1000, whatever.

#3027 is supposed to be the current spindle speed.

Any ideas on how to accomplish or format this?

Thanks.

Not 100% this will work but try this:

#3027=#100 (any open variable)
#100=#100+100 (Desired amount of increase)

Then place this statement wherever needed.
S#100M3

Good luck!

That worked great.

Thanks.

Just a beganner at macro programming but wouldnt it be
#3027 =#100
#100 = #3027 +100

And This Modal
S#100M3
?

It should give you the same result as long as #3027 doesn't change in somewhere in between.

For your example you could skip the first line altogether. It's just personal preference for me to copy the read only variable and work with the copy in case something changes with #3027. Different scenarios may require you to use the format I used.

It's all good though!
