You need to define the speed in the tool setup. Some sample .tps files at: https://www.shapeoko.com/wiki/index.php/MeshCAM
Did you do: http://docs.carbide3d.com/tutorials/2-meshcam/
i have it set at 6700 but no spindle speed and tried the head and same problem
if i make a program in carbide motion every thing works fine it the saving file problem from mech cam to carbide motion for some reason it wont run the spindle…
im lost at this point
Please post the MeshCAM file or send it in to support@grzsoftware.com — if you have a Nomad send it in to support@carbide3d.com
That is a G-Code file, not the MeshCAM file, but it does show what’s wrong:
%
(FILENAME: head.nc)

(STOCK/BLOCK, 1.695, 1.891, 0.750, 0.000, -0.000, 0.750)

No speed setting (S6700) in the spindle on command — I usually use MeshCAM with the Carbide 3D autotoolpath wizard for a Nomad — have you tried that on the MeshCAM v7 beta?
Or, did you try loading one of the .tps settings from the link?
You could save your .tps settings and post them here.
this is a MechCam 5 file using the automatic tool path and the spindle speed is 5000 loaded on the tool
i just downloaded the beta 7 and now its working fine
