Repeat cuts: zero out or keep going?

[JoeE]

If I want to cut the same file over and over again (using a jig for placement), can I just swap stock and hit send over and over or do I need to G92 Between each time?

Also, if I cancel a file during a time when it’s running, does the cancel also cancel the positioning that was set up for that file?

thanks
Joe

1. home the machine
2. setup the jig or clamp that can be used repeatedly with the same project xyz zero point.
3. Place the workpiece in the clamp and set the xyz zero in the Universal G-code Sender or which ever g-code sender you are using.
4. Run the toolpath
5. replace workpiece with a new blank and run the toolpath again.

If you shut the machine down and restart again, all you need to do is home the machine and load the g-code again and it should be ready to go.
The same workpiece zero will still be set.
