    OK...LazyCam is easy to work with and it exports GCode to Mach3.
    But the code appears in the Mach3 file directory with a .LC suffix.

    I can see that Mach3 doesn't like .LC files, it wants .TAP files.
    How do I convert them from .LC to .TAP?
    Just Rename it and end with .Tap or .Txt. Mach will take .Tap .Txt .Nc .Ncc file extensions.

    Few ways really.
    First On the Standard 1024 Mach screen on right you have a Spindle Speed section override slider, the green bar. The Commanded spindle speed in the G-code file will be shown in the Speed DRO so to increase or decrease just slide the Green Override slider up/down. Or Click directly into the Speed DRO displaying and enter new value.
