I have some NC files that I need to combine into one file and add a PAUSE and RESUME between them so the first file runs and pauses while I reposition the work and then resume and run the combined second file. I have no knowledge of how to do this in my ongoing education of CNC. Any help greatly appreciated.

Just put M1 after the first file - which will stop the machine and wait for a cycle start,

and cut and paste the second program to follow.

With the machine is stopped and waiting, your can jog the axis, change the tool or any other adjustment you want, providing you return the machine to the place to start the second file.

You will have to remove the M30 from the end of the first programme or the second will not run, as Jim has said M1 will stop the code until you press start again so replacing the M30 with M1 will do the job for you. Also make sure on the General Config page that Stop on M1 is chosen.
