So you Dave are on opposite side. Probably you have tool changer. If you afraid that you crash the tool then here is solution. In emc ini file just one option. ENABLE_JOG_DURING_M1_M6 =true/false So all of ass wil be happy. Somewhere somebody write that 90% users have ATC. But I'm on the other10% as my homemade/hobby machine http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84773 need to deal with collets. "Do you really think the software is going to be able to put that boring bar back in place without a crash?" My answer is NO. So I will do that instead.
