Right, it is the normal M3 S**** to start the spindle, the WCS setting G54/G55/G56 etc will I expect start the appropriate spindle so in the attached G code sample I have set it to G55 so the T2 spindle on the Left looking at your photo should start, see image below for where you set the G54/G55 etc, setting it to 1 is G54, 2 is G55, 3 is G56 and so on for as many as your control is enabled to handle.
Have a good look at the attached G code file, it moves in the Z axis down to level with your slot, and then moves along the Y and Z axis for direction of cut, it is a 2D Pocket and as the tool is only 12mm dia and the slots are 18mm and 16mm then the Machine Z axis will move up and down a small amount, the X axis is acting as a Z axis and moving deeper into the edge of the door which to me is all correct ![]()
Hopefully this will get you closer !!
Anyway, see if your control will accept the code and gently try it out well above your machine bed
