There is a g-code I can use to pause the machine in the middle of a process (so I can install some screws) and wait for me to hit the command "run" again?
Thanks in advance.

That would likely be an M code, either an M01 or an M00 would be the most common, all depends on your machine control and the Post Processor that you are using
Hello @jcsantilli
As engineguy pointed, you can use M0 and M1.
They have a slightly different behavior.
M0 is an absolute stop.
Which means the machine will always stop when it encounter this code.
M1 is an optional stop.
You need to "set a switch", physical, or in the controller parameter, to enable the stop.
Have a pleasant day.
Cheers.
