Hi. Thanks in advance for the help!

We purchased a new lathe with Fanuc 21i-TB controller. Question is; if we want to stop the operation and pull the tool away to check/change it and then restart (or as our G&L's say, "toolpath recovery", that recovers and re-enters the same cut perfectly) - How do we do it?

I can't believe 1980's G&L's and Mazaks have a feature that 2009 Fanuc's do not, but the field engineer is a great mechinical guy, but not an operator or programmer.
