i suppose the 1st problem is my compressor needs time to reload before making long cuts.
Thus I need to either stop or pause and let the compressor catch up to the plasma table.
Seems like this should be a simple process however, can't seem to get there.
How do I pause or stop, let the compressor reload, and then start cutting from where I left off?
Thanks in advance for your help!!!!!!!!

i hit the pause button, reload the compressor, then hit resume.
this works till i get an electrician out here to upgrade my service.

Just an FYI. An M1 call in G-code does the same thing as pause. You can insert code "snips" between Operations in SheetCAM. You can also put inqa general delay in the form of "G4 P## where ## is in seconds. then it would pause, wait then start up again automatically. Using the layers and operations in SheetCAM to give you more control over you cuts can have distinct advantages.
