I am not in charge of CAM, not in any way. I can't control what people use to generate g-code and people will be doing whatever they feel like doing. Many CAM programs start with M6 T1.
There's no reason be requiring a tool table, or stopping for manual toolchange, on the first M6 T1. If it later does an M6 T2, well, it'll need to stop for that. If it's even allowed. Manual toolchange and manual z-height setting each tool without a tool table IS, IMHO, the "proper method".
