Hi Steve, as you probably know Mach has the option to choose, and to set
a safe height. Unfortunately any axis chosen may not be the "right one"
for that job. I have that automatic move disabled - easier and safer to
MDI or jog back to a suitable position then resume with a straight move.

Often I've only moved one axis anyway, most common are X on the lathe or
Z on the router or mill if clearing swarf. I jog near the work again,
restart spindle, then press resume.

Reminds me - must be able to toggle spindle off/on during pause.
