M13/M14: Spindle with coolant / combined function
M-codes used on some machines to combine the spindle with coolant or auxiliary functions.
For reference only: syntax changes with the control, the post-processor and the machine parameters. Check the official manual and run a simulation before cutting. Legal notice.

- Fanuc: Very dependent on the PLC: it can combine spindle/coolant or have another function.
- Haas: On Haas lathes M14/M15 can relate to spindle brake/C axis; don't assume equivalence.
