General Mach Discussion / Pause and re-start not working correctly
« on: February 07, 2017, 07:54:57 AM »
Hi,
Seem to be having trouble with pause/re-starting Gcode and wondered if anyone else has seen this problem and perhaps have a solution. It doesn't happen every time but this is the second instance where the cutter has gouged a job after restarting from hitting the space bar. If i'm going to pause the router, I try to pause on a straight cut and this morning it continued in the same direction at the correct height after re-start but then removed a radius turning it into a chamfer then continued on the same line straight through the stock!
The other day I had a job with a long machine time and nervously stopped a started about four times without a problem. I thought the first time was just a one off and then it happened again today.
Any solutions/advice would be appreciated.
Steve.
