Keep Tool Down in Thread Operation

Keep Tool Down in Thread Operation

I am currently thread milling NPT holes in some stainless material and would really appreciate the ability to have a 'Keep Tool Down' option for this operation since popping out of the hole for three cut passes and a spring pass seems pretty excessive when using a full form thread mill.

 

Honestly just being able to tell it to stay down for a spring pass would be nice instead of having a full retract. Perhaps this would be something that is only enabled when Lead to Center is enabled? Either way would be a useful and satisfactory addition.
