    program stop to check size

    Hey all,
    I was wondering how does someone using mc8 stop program and start it(not using m01) when size is correct?.

    I wnat to finish a diameter but leave .5 to check size then once checked maybe push start?? and program continues.

    You can setup your post so when you do a "Manually entry" between operations ,your machine will move to its home position and post out a M00, and a comment you added in your "Manual entry"
