Yes Richard, The stepper I can disable with the Enable function but I was thinking of a situation where I needed to immediately?STOP everything.?
It's interesting as I have very little actual machine time so I do not know the perils.
As I have said I flunked out of Machine shop II 55 years ago and have never touched a machine since.

Why worry about the spindle stopping, I thought that the problem was
the use of high torque? motor driving the leadscrew. A limit switch
will stop that. Be aware that it is not good policy the have a high
deceleration rate on a spindle with a screw on chuck!
I need to say that I have had an ELS for quite a few years and have
never crashed it yet!

Interesting thanks, I only bought the motor because
of the sale.
I "plan" on having travel stops, but do not know how to get
my spindle to fast stop.
I use the
and there is very little known about the controller.
I am currently?using a 10 k pot in place of the Hall Effect
foot pedal and when I turn the pot down there appears that
there might be braking
involved. If I just turn the power off the motor continues
to? rotate.

12 Nm is a beast if you run it at its rated current. I have
one on my mill and managed to shear a drive key using the
stepper at full rated current. Fortunately the stepper drive
has lower current settings.....its on about half rated current
now.
Don¡¯t (how do I know ? ) use it at full current with out a
trip switch to prevent end stop crashes.
By the way with Lindo¡¯s corollary.....tools are not the only
things cats make off with ! interesting curls of steel and
aluminium also walk too. And they end up in funny and not so
funny places....a freshly made bed ?
And of course O¡¯flanagan held that Murphy was an optimist.
