That is not valid gcode for a mill, it lacks
M3 S24000
Or similar at the start of gcode.

I will try this same code and insert M3 s24000 at the code start and post results.
Thank you very much for all the help.

Sorry, was busy having a coffee with friends, so forgot to add that you also need M5 at the end of gcode to stop the spindle.

Thank you Tommy,
what you said did the trick and it works flawlessly.
One more thing if you can answer me. While in Stepconf, when I reach to page with Spindle setup, I choose 0Hz to enter PDM mode. There are few settings there like: Speed 1, Speed 2, PWM 1 and PWM 2. If I change PWM1 from 0.1 to 0.4 then in Axis UI when I type G0 Z10 for example, it does not travel 10mm thus I have to change PWM1 and PWM2 until I find exact ratio. Why is that?
Many thanks

Hmmm ... that seems not right, changing spindle PWM should have no effect on Z axis motion at all, so how?
Do you have speed control for the spindle?

No, I do not have any speed control. My spindle is actually a hand held router that has markings for speed (1,2,3, ...) that I have to adjust manually depending on the material that is being cut.
