    M01 end of every tool in OneCNC post? TM1 not stopping with them?

    I put a M01 into my program to stop the program and turn the part over to face off the back. However in a test run 1." above the part the TM1 did not pause at the M01, it just moved onto the next tool. (Would be bad if not cought in test run!)

    I pulled the NC file and did a M01 search and found the OneCNC post put a M01 at the end of every tool!? Also my mill just flew past the opt. stop call out. Is this a setting on the mill to not do the M01 pause?

    At this point I am going to put a M00 in and test it to see if it stops. Here is what the code looks like. You can see line N2079 has the post installed M01. Line N2081 was the line that originaly had my M01 I put in I now have as an M00.

    Sugestions?


    N2077 G01 X2.8561 Y0.3635
    N2078 G00 Z0.2
    N2079 M01
    N2080 G0 Z4.0
    N2081 M00 (Stop turn part over to Face off flange)
    N2082 T4 M06 (2.0 INCH INSERT FACE MILL)
    N2083 G90 G80 G40 G54
    N2084 S1098 M03


    By the way this is the first time I have posted anything in the new to me OneCNC program.

    did you push the optional stop button ?
    generally its a better idea to use an m0 if you plan to flip the part at some point in the program , it leaves less room for error

    Every post I use for MCAM, Gibbs, Powermill, UG, - well every post on every CAM program I've ever used - puts in an M1 before each tool change. That way you can run with op stop on and the machine will stop after each tool. If you need to add a stop to flip a part or oil up a tap, then you put in an M0.
    An M0 should be used whenever you need to stop there, an M1 can seriously fock you if you accidentally run with the op stop off.
    Apparently I don't know anything, so please verify my suggestions with my wife.

    Opt stop! Man it all comes back slowly. Yes I am not turning on that feture so the M01 is not being used. I know remember that being in all the old posts I used years ago.

    Thank you!
