I think there may be some confusion here. No one is saying that Tx causes or should cause tools to change on a milling machine. This is lathe behavior only.

It's more straight forward with a turret on a lathe. Less "business" has to happen to just index the turret. Anyone using LCNC on a machining center (VMC) would surely want the option to have the control work the way I describe? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
