Showerthought: I used to baby every new toolpath with a single block and feed hold, but after a crash on a 4140 part last year, I now run a full air cut with the spindle off first.

Has anyone else found a better way to verify a program before hitting cycle start on a complex job?

Yeah, air cuts are the bare minimum. I always check the graphics on the control first too.

What specific graphics on the control are you looking for first?
