Hood, what you said
You guys will have to patient with me as I am very new to mach. I have read the manual several times but it is all still very Greek to me. I have read the MP3000,DTCH and ESP 650 manual from CandCNC also several times (still pretty Greek). There are so many different screens, macros, brains, inputs and outputs and I have no idea how to edit anything as of yet. Here is the basic function I need/want. When I hit the feed/hold button I want the torch to turn off and hold position. This would allow me to clear any obstructions or reset the torch if it happens to shut off. upon hitting run I would like to torch to do a touch off or at least start the arc and restart the g-code as if nothing has happened. Sometimes I will have to move back to the start of a line if the torch faulted and restart from the point where I lost the arc. right now I am totally lost and confused. I knew there would be a learning curve to getting this software but I did not know I would need computer engineering and physics degree. I have the utmost respect for you guys that have figured it out and in time i am sure I will but right now I just want to cut things out. It would be helpful if there was Mach for idiots manual.
Recap:
How on earth do I put a stop/restart torch command in the middle of a line after pressing the hold/feed button?
I have no idea what I am doing and I am a complete idiot when it comes to Mach.
