Hello Forum, 1100 S3 owner of 9 years now. Today I was running a long (for me) 2 hour program. There was a power brown out (I am located in a rural area ) and the mill slowed
for an instant. I press for a Freehold and then stopped the program. I was 2/3rd of the way through my program on a 4th operation. Is it safe/possible to restart tomorrow near that last line of code? I am just not familiar with the process. I wrote the line number down. I could scrub through the cost to the start of this new op and just cut air for a little while. Any constructive suggestions would be appreciate. Thanks. J. Gaertner BSA, LLC
Roll back 50 or 100 lines and set start line. Make sure you warm up first as the spindle was already warm when it stopped.

OK, This is where I am unsure of the proper procedures to follow. I believe I need to raise my endmill all the way up to near the Z stop. Right mouse click the line of code where I want of start again and choose, “Start with Z”(… something or other- not at the Tormach right now) so I am not sure the exact wording? I can see from the colored lines on the visual it will be starting before the power went down. So will do some air cutting, which is fine.

I hope this helps.

I would re-reference and check the WCS is still in the right place as well. You might have to get creative if you already cut away the zero surfaces.
You will have to re reference when you turn it on again then select the start line right click and do set as start with vertical lead in (assuming you weren’t undercutting a gasket or something) then start.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to help me! I had not seen this video. I need to spend more time on the Tormach YouTube page. Thanks! J.Gaertner
@John_Gaertner I put together some video lists that I think would interest you.
