I did a tool change into the lathe spindle when I was trying to single step through a program. I stepped until I got to a block with a G28 and T5 M6 (move to home and change tool) in it. The program would not step at this point so I just hit the resume button, where it proceeded to do the tool change, but not the home. Afterward, I remembered that on a Fadal mill I used briefly, that there were some gotchas about single stepping. For now I stopped using single step and put G28 in its own block. I realize that you can't put more than one code within a modal group in a single block, but G28 is non-modal, are there any other issues concerning codes within single blocks? Thanks.
