A numerical control system controls a plurality of axes with a plurality of channels (10, 20, 30). When a machining program for a first channel (10) is interrupted after a single block in response to a single block signal (6), the feeding of commands of a machining program for other channels (20, 30) is held. The machining programs are thereby executed in synchronism with each other. The machining processes are prevented from being unbalanced, and machining interference is avoided.
