I think I know the answer, but I would like to know for sure.
Will I loose my position if I press the off-line button?
The job finishes, I jog the spindle out of the way, then press the off-line button, remove my part. I will usually go to the other side of the shop to get ready to run another part, examine the part just finished, or clean up the part I just took off the machine . So I get back to the machine, load the next piece, press the off-line button (putting it back on line) and cycle start.
Some thing tells me this is not the correct use of the off-line button.
Thanks.
Rick
