Haas TL-1 Lathe Tool Change Details in Post

Hi all, I have a Haas TL-1 lathe, which has a conventional tool post, so manual tool changes.

 

I will quite often run a roughing tool path followed by the finishing tool path both using the same tool.  When first run the part I will usually leave some stock to leave on the finishing pass so I can measure and adjust to get the final dimension accurate.

 

But when I run the finishing pass again, I have to also run the roughing pass cutting air, as when the code is posted, the tool details aren't included in the finishing pass.  Hope this makes sense!

 

Yes I can cut and paste the tool info in the code manually, but this is a pain and have to reorder the line numbering.

 

Screen grabs of code below.

 

So my question is, is there an easier way to do this?

 

Many thanks.
