Anybody familiar with t-molding side cutters? Help!

I have a Mastercam X4 and I currently run T-Mold cutters along the edge of some parts. My question is:

 

How can I get Mastercam to understand that every time I select this tool, it should send the tool to a "Ref Home" position and put an M00(stop) in place before it runs.

 

This allows my guys to lift the MDF and take away the sheet before we push "START" again and allow the T-Mold cutter to do its job.

 

Thanks for any help

Try adding a toolpath manual entry.

 

Go to Router Toolpaths> Manual Entry>>> Then you can either type in what you want or put in a *.txt file.

 

something like:

 

G00 X24.00 Y-24.00

M00

 

Then Choose the NCI output method as Code

 

Or you might have to have something written into your post.

 

Hope this helped
