Just wondering if other users out there use a procedure similar to this for changing a broken insert?
Procedure for changing a broken insert in the middle of a lathe turning or facing can cycle without having to start the can cycle all over again.
1) insert breaks in the middle of the can cycle
2) press the feed hold button
3) stop the spindle
4) change the position screen to display the incremental position
5) zero X and Z
6) using the hand wheel or jog buttons, jog the tool out of the work to a position that will facilitate changing of the broken insert
7) change the insert
8) turn on the spindle
9) using hand wheel or jog buttons, jog the tool back to X0 Z0 position
11) change the position screen to display absolute position like you had before the insert broke
12) turn the feed hold button off
13) start the spindle
14) press cycle start
