same tool just between rotations

That's happening Rick because of the retract to home on rotation.

 

One way around this is to create a secondary pretract, that sens it home but does not kill the spindle or coolant

 

If you run debug I'll bet thos are coming out of the pretract postblock

 

This thread shows a pretract2

 

you could set it up and then place a home move with no turn offs on spindle or coolant.

 

I'm sure someone will have another way but that's one way.

First: I agree with John.

Second: To Cascadeclimbr: I think, your post doing just fine. It will be more help (in set up process) if you have "M1" just after Z0.

If your post has the following line in it you can just change it to 0. This is what I had to change and it worked like a charm.
