The problem isn't stopping for tool change -- it will do that no problem. It's getting started again after I'm done that is the problem.

I organize my CNC work with a separate directory for each project, and I put each tool's work in a separate file. I try to avoid really long CNC programs, because if something messes up (programming mistake or jammed tool), I have to comment out a lot of things to avoid excessively long air cutting times when restarting.
I do find myself wishing I had an automatic tool changer, but I can't justify moving to that class of mill in my garage.
