I just have an 8 position switch and push button to make tool changes. I bring it back to home and do my tool change. I don't use the lathe that much, but if i did, I would just have mach 4 bring the carriage back to home for a manual tool change. So cut with one tool > move carriage back to home > then I can switch tools and then press cycle start.
