Sorry if this is >a simple question but this is the first time I have applications running In all other controls I've used you are able to do a feed hold, then jog away, change or sharpen your tool, clear swarf or whatever, touch off tool and then resume from where you paused. Unfortunately EMC doesn't support this basic machine function. You can feed hold and resume but nothing else - a pretty useless command IMO. You need to stop, note the line number, and then do a run from here. Run from here is very hit and miss in my experience and sometimes fails miserably.

[Emc-users] tool changing question
Hi, I understand that I can add an M6 code at some point in my gcode program to manually change a tool. But I want to be able to temporarily stop the program when necessary in order to sharpen a cutter. Obviously you cannot cater for that with an M6 code. Is there some way I can set up an input (button, keyboard key) such that when pressed the program is forced into a tool change so I can resharpen my cutter? Sorry if this is a simple question but this is the first time I have applications running for such a long time that I need to sharpen the cutter part way through. Any help appreciated.

[Emc-users] touch-off plate
A guy on CNC Zone asked about hal code for a touch-off plate, and I remember a discussion fairly recently about this. I tried looking back in the linuxcnc.org forums, but the search only works on the first page. So, I was not able to find the discussion. Does anyone remember this and who got it working? Can you find where it was described and give me a pointer? He is looking specifically for the automated touchoff after a toolchange.
