It would be nice to force a tool change for the finish path in pocket ops.
I often rough a pocket with an old end mill & then finish it with a new end mill of the same size.
This leaves me with a better finish since the endmill I use to rough with is an old one that has already taken a beating or has taken a beating during the roughing op. And also leaves me with a better size (especially in the bottom of the pocket, since the tips of end mills seem to wear faster.) Especially when I have to be within a couple tenths. (ex. 1.625 +.0003, -.0001) The walls of a pocket can be slightly tapered, and when checking with a gage pin, I like the pin to go to the floor with a tight fit & not be loose at the top if the pocket. As it is now, if I use a pocket op I'll usually disable the finish pass & add a countour op to finish the pocket. So, it would be nice to be able do this within the pocket operation just by selecting force tool change for finish pass and specify tool number.
