Title: Mach4 plasma reverse cut and resume cut question
Post by: ROTM on June 27, 2023, 11:59:07 PM

Good day.
Is there an option to reverse cut in Mach4?
Lets say I have a failed cut and for whatever reason it only cut half of the shape...to do a reverse cut?

Attached a simple curve ..lets say the green part is cut...what would be the best option to resume the cut to cut the red part as well Since the restart point is at the beginning of the green line (green+red is a single line)

Thank you!

You can use "Run From Here".
Its a bit quirky to figure out; but it works well.
Just find that line of code you want to start at and hit "Run From Here"
It has been a while since I've used it, but it will move to some position before that point and get the machine ready to start cutting from that point.
