== Status ==
As of 12/21, the table is essentially borked. Coolant splashed into the electronics box, shorting it out. There have been a number of issues with the table over the years and as of right now the thought is to scrap the existing machine and replace it with a new one.

=== Starting a job from a particular line of code (needs update)===
=== Starting a job from a particular line of code ===
*Run from here
*Double click on the code preview window to see the line number that mach3 assigns to the line. (mach3#:sheetcam# - example 11:N110)
*Select next line
*Be careful and be ready to hit the e-stop
*If you don't know the exact line to start from, find the line directly after a TCH off before the line the job stopped. If it errors on that line try moving to the next movement line. The job should do some air moves until the next probe.
*Type the number of the line in the area "Line:_____" right next to the red stop button.
*Type Enter. The gcode preview should jump to the line you typed in.
*Click the "Set next line" button.
*Click the green Cycle Start button.
=== The job stopped while probing (not z-crash or skipping steps) ===
*Record the g-code line where the machine stopped.
*Check to see if there are any errors. If there errors send a message to Slack about them.
*Be careful and be ready to hit the e-stop.
*Click "Reset" twice (the first time goes into estop mode and the second time comes out of it).
*Click "Cycle Start". The cnc should move to pierce height and then start cutting (generally running correctly again)

==== Error: "Probe ignore, activated at call for probe" ====
'''Tends to happen when attempting to reignite torch after first cut'''
Causes:
*THCv set to high, e.g. cutting 1/4" steel @45A recommended THCv is 115, lower to 114 or until the torch ignites successfully
