+==== Additional Notes ====
+++++ Synchronization |
+When using the spindle as a rotary B/C axis, synchronization will be performed automatically, since the C and Y axes are controlled from the program by the G-code commands. When switching to the "proper" spindle mode, synchronization is done via the spindle encoder and is used in the corresponding threading commands.
