I'll give an example of the spot in the program:
T1111 (OD);
M3;
M8;
G42 GO X1.30 Z.05;
G70 P1 Q2;
G40 G30 UO WO;
T1212 (ID);
M3;
M8;
G41 G0 X1.00 Z.05;
G1 ZO.O F.002;
X.96;
X.942 Z-.009;
Z-.250;
G40 X.880;
G0 Z.5;
G30 U0 W0;
M1;
M30;
%
Usually, I would add a M1 after the G30 U0 W0, and this stops the machine.
I just always thought that was what it did.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to adjust a parameter?
I would really like to have the machine continue on it's own without having to push the tool change button.
Thanks
