Yes, I have done that many times.. If you are using a cam program to generate the G code I have found it is very easy to split operations at a tool change...... But then I guess the ease of doing that may depend upon what cam software you were using also ... I'm really not a big fan of the idea of being allowed to jog around during a pause. Say someone is doing some internal boring bar work and they think their cutter is getting dull, they pause, jog the boring bar out of the hole, replace the insert and then resume. Do you really think the software is going to be able to put that boring bar back in place without a crash? Some of the developers were saying a while ago that making the jog during pause work was possible, but that it was a huge amount of work.
