    i cut a channel in my table

    I need to vent to people who understand. I was cutting holes and pockets for my fixture mounts and forgot to raise the z axis. I was doing the G-code manually as it was really simple stuff. Crap

    I guess this is where I will put my touch plate. It was going to go somewhere else but I can't have this big ugly cut in my table.

    It was moving at 150ipm to the next location. It moved 2.130" before I was able to stop it with the e-stop button. I normally keep my hand on the button at all times when I'm doing manual code execution, but it was at my side this time. I am surprised I got to it that fast - 0.852 seconds = 2.130" @ 150ipm.

    Sigh...
