I always home my machine before starting a piece and take a quick screenshot of what I set as zero, so I can return the machine to the same position afterward. If you want to get really fancy, you can also trim the GCode down so you don't have to run the entire program again, but that's some effort, because you need to leave the setup GCode at the beginning. (I have a PowerRoute: I don't know if a CarveKing has home switches, but if it doesn't, it's worth a lot of add them, primarily for resumability)

That is the main reason you want to Home the machine when you first turn it on. So you can find your workpiece origin after an interrupt of running a project. Make a note of the position where the spindle stops (the XY position). As freik mentioned, You can go through the G-code and find this location and edit out the previous completed G-code.

That brings up a question that I have not tried to find the answer to yet...will the machine remember the zero position after power has been removed? If so, then when it's powered back up, I could see that after homing it first it could return to the previously set zero position and you could restart the operation as long as the material was not moved for some reason.
I gather that is the case based on freik's and Bruce's posts above.

You are correct Sir! Just don't move your work piece from the origin and you're good to go.

I gather that is the case based on freik's and Bruce's posts above. That is all correct as long as you used a G10 command to set the work coordinate system and not just G92, which is temporary. It has been a little while since I have dug into how the different versions of UGS are treating the reset zero button. The button may be issuing a G92 or a G10 L20 P1.... I seem to remember it's using a G92.

I just checked bCNC and it does send a G10L20P1Z0.0 to the controller when I typed in a new work coordinate for Z zero. Haven't checked UGS.
