    Tormach Fusion 360 Post - Why the M1's before tool change

    Not a big deal, but I am not sure if there is some reason for it that I am missing.

    It doesn't happen on the first tool change, but the Fusion 360 post for the Tormach puts a M1 before each tool change. It's redundant as the tool change already pauses.

    Any reason not to get rid of it and how?

    That's perfect. I changed it in the post processor and life is good again.

    Thanks
