Thanks! That makes sense. That would stop the cycle and prompt for "cycle start" even though I plan to use the same tool.

General Mach Discussion / Stopping Gcode during cycle

« on: December 14, 2013, 12:27:09 AM »

Hi guys,

I'm totally new here and recently got the G0704 running with Mach3 and MasterCAM V9.

In the MC 9,  I devided the tool path into sections hoping that I can stop at the end of the each cycle to change the end mill (2 flutes to 4 flutes, etc) or re-clamp certain area. How do I do this when the machine is running in Mach3? I tried using pause, but couldn't pause it at certain location.

MasterCAM Tool path.



Thanks
