Hi,
there are two interpretations of m6 in Mach4.
The first and most common with hobbyists machines is that m6 t5, for instance will stop and install tool 5.
The second and fastest interpretation is that m6 t5, will stop and change to the tool in the tool changer and load
tool 5 into the tool changer for the NEXT tool change. This interpretation means that no time is lost selecting the tool
from the carousel to the tool changer and thence to the spindle.
The setting you are looking for is in the Control/Tools tab of the Control plugin.
