wait - I thought you could do that now. Unless I don't understand what you
mean.

What you want is 'program pause' and then a control mode change.
Feed hold is to stop/continue the programmed feed (while possibly
waiting until a thread pass is done) and that is it.
Feed hold would usually be used for clearing chips or stopping a cut
because of a dull / chipped tool.
If you had to stop the program you would start it usually at a rapid
point prior to the feed line that you stopped it on.
I only ever ran a CNC lathe mind you.
What I did do sometimes is program the spindle to stop and an optional
stop, so that I could measure a cut and adjust the tool offset , then
continue the program.
I usually only did the optional stop once or twice as of course the
machine cut consistent after that.
Unfortunately in EMC the operator cannot change tool offsets 'on the
fly' like that, though there was some talk about it if I remember right.
Gentlemen,
Not one to miss an opportunity to vote on matters of importance I
would like to cast another vote (I have officially registered to vote)
(possibly multiple times) for the prospect of changing tool length
offsets on the fly. :) Sounds like a very good idea to me.
thanks
Stuart
Anyways I digress, my point is one has to be specific about what one
wants versus what one is saying. :)

All this time I thought Steve was asking about Feed Hold...
I was, but a feed hold that allows nothing else is pretty worthless ;)
