Do any of you guys warm up your cnc before machining anything? I was reading through the machine manual the other day and seen a section on warming up the machine before use. If so, do you run a certain program to do this or is there a way of just turning on the spindle whilst in the home position?

Dale,
Here is the one I use. You may need to modify it slightly for metric.
