My new machine - Guess the make!

[JAZZCNC]

Cheers for that Dean. I’ve used feed hold several times so far, mainly when I’ve spotted my hold down clamping is not great so I can tighten up.

Yes it's handy but "run from here" is a job saver when a tool breaks or shit hits the fan or clamps, and very handy for long jobs which you want to break down into parts over a few sessions. Something worth playing with as it's very handy.

I also like your advice on not leaving the machine alone overnight. Apart from it getting lonely, I can see the issues if the pc has a hissy fit and stops sending code with the spindle still moving at 20,000rpm.

To be honest NO router that is cutting flammable materials like wood should ever be left unattended for any lengthy periods. I know of several people who have set fire to machines and workshops and in one case lost his house because the router was left alone while he went out. Because the machine was in the garage adjoined to the house and he hadn't told the insurance they wouldn't payout.!

Shit always happens when your not watching and a spindle whizzing around at 24000rpm rubbing on wood makes a great fire starter.
