CAUTION: During the blocks when CSS mode (G96) is
active, the programmed S-word units are surface speed per
minute. For systems allowing multiple spindles, when CSS is
active, the S-word units for all spindles is surface speed per
minute. To maintain RPM units on the non-controlling
spindles, do not program them while CSS is active on the
controlling spindle.

* The calculated spindle speed would be infinite because the diameter of
the workpiece at cutting position 3 is zero (0). However, since the
maximum spindle speed is set in AMP, the control sets the spindle speed at
this maximum value.
