    Angry No Milling idea...

    Hi Forum,
    not sure where to correct this....

    Scenario (solidworks - camworks- post processor- mach3 - sherline mill 2010)

    most of my milling has been going well since i suppress a lot of the smarts out of post processing from cam works (as my mill is mostly manual - e.g. reset zero on tool change etc..)but i have come unstick and not sure how to address this... so looking for insights

    on my tool change for 10mm flat end is all goes pear shaped (gcode attached- screen shot from mach 3) - mill; decides to retract to some odd place (see image) which on my little mill exceeds limiot triggers etc..

    what am i missing and how to fix :
    1. in the current g code
    2. prevent this from happening again
