Perhaps you could tweak the program with a clearance move and optional stop at the expected insert change points?

We have been patiently waiting for jog while paused and it does not look like we are getting it anytime soon. My question is how are others working around this? For instance I am working on a job machining gears with hardened teeth and we have to remove .250 form one face, roughing insert lasts about 2/3 of the way through the roughing program and we have to rotate the insert. Feed hold leaves us in a position too close to the part to change the insert. Our only solution is to exit program and move tool away to rotate insert and restart program from the beginning and cut air until we get back into the cut. We try to run from line but even if we call constant surface feed in our MDI spindle start the spindle runs at the cap RPM.
