Usually an air blast if I'm not distracted with a can of cutting oil 
because the tap is squeaking.

But I usually start each operation thats had a tool change with a clean 
table so the likely hood of getting a short before the swarf builds up 
again is pretty slim. The tool itself gets an air blast in case its 
dirty before I hit the r or unpause it. So it always starts each new 
tool clean, and the first thing is measuring the newly inserted tool.

I have enough switches in the sw I've written so I can do a g92.2 to 
cancel any z offsets, and restart it at the top of the current routine.  
Its a swarf buildup after I've made the tool length measurement that is 
a problem.

You haven't piped up for a while Tomp, I trust you are well, and no 
busier than you want to be?
