I would have to agree with that from HAAS, it sounds like a pretty good description of what needs to happen. Thanks Rick Superior Roll & Turning 399 East Center Street Petersburg MI, 49270 734-279-1831 www.superiorroll.com

If you read that HAAS control description of how their Run, stop, jog, continue works it seems to be pretty logical to me. It simply requires the OP to after he has jogged to wherever he need to jog back to a position CLOSE to where the pause happened initially and then hit a key and the machine th

I am surprised to hear it RAPIDS back to the paused position. It would seem a slow move would be much safer or at a fraction of the commanded speed or something. On Fri, Nov 21, 2014 at 12:47 PM, Rick Lair wrote: > All the machines in our shop (Cincinnati Milacron, Fagor, Hermle, just > to name

All the machines in our shop (Cincinnati Milacron, Fagor, Hermle, just to name a few) that are able to perform a jog move during a paused/feedhold state, take a straight and direct path back to where the pause was enabled, at whatever the maximum jog speed rate is. In saying this, we acknowledg

As I recall we usually would jog away, take care of whatever needed addressing and then kinda jog near to where it was before but never precisely where it was before and hit go and it would take care of the rest. I honestly don't remember exactly how it worked just that it worked and we used it an

Honestly while I am sure there are ways to workaround that particular problem I have had many situations where a jog while paused feature would have come in very very handy. It is really something sorely missing from LinuxCNC. Hell even being able to just stop the spindle or turn off the coolant wo

You could place some tool change spots using block delete around where tool changes commonly occur. When the tooling starts to sound bad just toggle block delete on and change your tooling. Restart program and toggle BD off.

This doesn't directly answer your question about jog-while-paused, but I'm curious about the specific use case you describe. How do you decide when to change the insert? Do you wait until it chips or starts cutting poorly? Or do you always change it at the same point because you know it won't la
