It really cuts down on material waist. I also love the resume and rewind function that also saves material.

I am having a couple random issues however.

First thing is I'm noticing on random startup of CNC12 It is not registering my MPG pendant and I have to go back into the wizard and enable it does anyone else experience this glitch.

Second is I cant seem to dial in the float and Ohmic sensor offsets correctly. I have it set up now so if I do a torch touch off using ohmic then unplug it it always zero's the same. I even ran two torch calibrations one with the sensor plugged in and one without and they both calibrated correctly. For some reason though when I'm doing a job water trips the ohmic sensor so the float switch has to be used and it pierces at a very low height and crashes. I will admit that my last two controls never used Ohmic sensing and with the water table its looking like it may be more hassle than its worth.
Ohmic does not like water, I only run it on 16 ga and thinner when my float would press down edges.
