Shapeoko Pro - Re-initialize between tool paths

Hi All,
I am trying to figure out if there is a way to make the machine Re-initialize between different tool paths during the same run. I am doing some larger runs with multiple tools and noticing as the file runs my tool paths start to creep the x-axis. Any advice is welcome and thanks in advance

Hi @jawarrens,

You shouldn’t have to. If the toolpaths get offset between runs, chances are you are losing steps on X axis or the X axis pulley is slipping, both of which are not good (and re-initializing between toolpaths would only temporarily hide a problem that needs solving). The first thing to do would be to re-check if you zero point has moved between runs.
If you absolutely want to re-initialize between toolpaths, you will need to save each toolpath to a separate file and run them sequentially (and use “load new tool” between jobs as appropriate)
