The M3 S1 command is already set in the "touch-off" subroutine, so I don't think that is the problem..
I added the sets spindle-at-speed true in the hal and received the following:

./plasma.hal:285: signal 'spindle-at-speed' not found

anything else I should be looking at?
And thanks for your help and quick responses...

Sorry, missed a line, add this too.
Code:
net spindle-at-speed => motion.spindle-at-speed

You'll still need the S1 command. I think you can put it in a preamble at the top of your gcode.

Rod,
I left the S1 command as it was in the subroutine...I still get the same error with the spindle signal...

./plasma.hal:284: signal 'spindle-at-speed' not found

Anything else?

I think the sets command needs to come after the other signal. Sorry.

I don't see anything in the hal file that connects motion.spindle-on to the 7I76 spindle enable pin
( that's what will close the connection between the ENA+ and ENA- pins on the 7I76 when LinuxCNC tunns the spindle on )
instead you have this:

net spindle-on motion.spindle-on => hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.output-06

Which is fine if you have the 7I76 output 6 driving a relay that connects your torch on signals
but if you are using the spindle enable optocoupler instead of a relay you need to have something like this:

net spindle-on motion.spindle-on => hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.spinena
