Joe, Your last request is what happens where you hit 'pause', e-stop is for emergencies. It should be used to keep from loosing a hand, or to keep the equipment from tearing itself apart. Pause is to stop in a restartable manner. The machine may have to finish a cut before it can pause, but using e-stop means you are willing to lose the piece or repair it if something is wrong.
I hope that helps. ... Jack On Fri, Nov 7, 2014 at 3:35 PM, Joe Hildreth <[email protected]> wrote: > Bruce, > > One more question.
