    Mastercam or post edit?

    I am really new to Okuma. My shop just purchased a new 560V, and Im having a couple issues with the post. My operator is stating that when he is running option stop, that it does a tool change before the option stop. And he has to edit every program to make it tool change after the option stop.
    My question is, is it something I have to change in the post, or a parameter in Mastercam? And if it is the post, does anyone know where it needs to be changed?

    Thank you,

    A simple mod to the post this one, remember to back up the current copy of the post you have first before modifying. It may be in the psof, ptlchg for new tool or null tool. Search for "M1" with a possible e$ after and move to where you think it should be, test and see. I use the debug option to see where the post is executed from the nc code of mastercam.
