I would like to see keyboard or jog wheel control only because tools like boring bars and face groovers will need completely different retract schemes. I know it goes back to the "ice water in hell" statement. I am hoping something reasonable is found and I will test. We are doing our first mill retrofit and I believe that the ability to stop, turn spindle and coolant off, move work out of the way of the tool to check something and return to the cut is mandatory. I understand If I want it badly enough I better learn the ability to code (not going to happen) and I do appreciate the people who contribute to this project but I am starting to think that the people running larger work and longer programs will get to the point that restarting the program even if you use run from line (mistakes are made) will become too cumbersome to overcome. Nobody forced me down the path of LCNC and it has been fun Three turning centers making parts is a bonus but we are losing tremendous amounts of time on larger parts because of this missing feature. I will be trying the patches if we can figure out how to apply them LOL.......We are not Linus experts either.
