I am using SC 7.1.3 and 7.1.5 (Don't ask why) with a Tormach CNC machine. Since it does not have a tool changer, I break the postprocessor output into one file per tool. I have a few minor problems which always require me to hand edit the g code.

1) How do I get SC to STOP calling out M998 (and also G43) at the beginning and end of each file? It causes MAch 3 to complain because I haven't referenced the machine and don't want to anyway.

2) Sometimes I have multiple operations done with one tool, like roughing waterline followed by 2D contour as a finish pass. However, I still get a M998, M5 M3, and a G43 between each of the operations. Obviously I don't need to stop and restart the spindle. I tried messing with the values of "Tool change position" as well as making sure I have the same tool number for each operation, but that didn't seem to do anything.
