Im new to this and have a home built table. 2 problems. 1 - Is there a way to tell mach where it is mid cut. My machine contacted the torch and bound up and lost steps. Now when i move it to restart the cut it is out of position. I can move it to the right position but it wants to run on coordinates that are now wrong. So far the only fix i can find is to E-stop the machine and physically force the machine to the right spot and then restart the cut but I'd like to just reset the coordinates to the correct numbers. Problem 2 is that when cutting 1/4 inch steel the pierce cut sometimes leaves a pile of dross high enough that it contacts the torch when it passes through it causing problem 1. longer lead ins solve it but aren't always an option of smaller or narrower pieces. Thank you.

Sounds like electrical interference from the torch. Really you need to fix that problem rather than work around it.

you can click on the the X/Y DRO an type in every coordinate you want, and then
press enter.

Yes thank you, I can do that and hit enter but when I start cutting again the machine reverts to the original coordinates, it's ignoring the ones I'm entering for some reason.
