Not quite - press Feed hold, stop spindle then jog -X to clear tool, then +Z to get out of bore, replace tip. Start spindle, press cycle start. Tool did a combined XZ move at current feed rate to where it stopped then continued from there. You just have to be sensible where you position the tool before pressing cycle start again.
