OK what is happening is your toolchange is calling the M6 macro, the M6 tells the axis to move to your toolchange position and wait for the Start button and then move back to the position it was at previously at a G1 feedrate. If you actually look whats happening is your axis starts at Zero, it rapids to the Toolchange position, it then feeds back to zero then the next line is a rapid to 0.6, not a very good idea LOL.
You could edit the macro so that it only goes to the safe Z, you could edit the post processor to do similar or always do a certain Z move before a change or whatever you wanted.
I have not looked at the standard M6 macro for a while but will do so later on and see exactly whats in there and could probably edit it to take out the return to previous position if you want that? Just in the door so it will be in a while.
