    What happens when you lose power

    Let's say I am machining a project on my cnc router and lose power. The computer will go off and have to be restarted, open the program(mach), load the file. Is there a way to find out what G code line it stopped at for that file rather than having to run the file from the start?

    I know of now way to know "exactly" where it stopped. If you have multiple tools, you can start at the last tool change and minimize "air cutting". Also remember, your going to have to at least home your machine and or pick up any fixture locations you have!
