Reversing back to where it stopped cutting.

Post by Coffinscreekcustoms »

Oh just a thought I run mach 3. I did some cutting tonight. Torch was cutting and table was moving, my sheet popped up shorted my torch and tables still moving good thing it was on the final inch of cutting I'll cut it by hand. I was wondering instead of starting that cut over to finish it out. If some way you could go back a few lines in the g-code insert a MO5 then an Mo3 to start the torch and finish out your cut?? Just a thought questions comments.
Thanks jake

you can go back to any line in your g-code
hit: set next line
hit:torch on
hit: run
works great on straight lines,
i just havent figured out that when you start in the middle of a circle, it will "start the circle" again
