It's a poor, time consuming solution fraught with problems regarding offsets and machine state. I've only tried it once when stringy swarf had wrapped around the job and was whipping around, offsets were not applied and it stuffed the tool into the work! It really does need addressing badly. Les Newall's "jog during toolchange" is a must and should be implemented in the release version. It works fine and is invaluable for those using collets for tool holding and tool length is not repeatable thus making the tooltable pretty useless. So easy then to jog, touch off and re-zero Z.
