No matter how "jog while paused" is implemented there will always be ways to screw things up, bust off cutters, and ruin workpieces. It will happen even if the machine is being run via Fanuc. But that doesn't mean that LinuxCNC should not have one or more solutions for jog while paused. This just goes back to the operator knowing the machine and how it works. If the jog while paused solution doesn't work for face grooving, you will discover that in short order. In the meantime you can still enjoy swapping inserts in the middle of long hard cuts without restarting the move all over again via a run from line! Right now we have nothing. Anything is better than nothing. Unless of course.... someone has something that is better than this patch. :-) Dave --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
