Was running perfect until it randomly went over. It’s not in the simulation. This is a test. I paused the program but I’d like to finish this test piece as well
Far from an expert but could it be your retract height is set too low?

Either the endmill was pulled out because it was loose or tooling engagement was too high, or the machine was pulled into the cut by high tooling engagement.
Post the .c2d file?

is it possible to start mid program so i can finish this thing. I re tightened the tool and put it a little further into the collet. I think it came loose or the tool load was too high. I noticed the material was thicker in that area. now that the tool is secure again. can i slow the feedrate and restart it.?
Go to jog, reset tool in bit setter, then what?
Carbide Motion doesn’t have support for this yet.
Determine which toolpaths have already been cut and disable them, then re-save the file and re-cut from the beginning of the current toolpath?
You could note the current line and write out the G-code and edit it.

I was able to do this. New program, same zero xy and started with the most recent process.
I figured out the issue,
My right to left axis belt was slipping on the motor. And it wasn’t moving with the other axis.
I cleaned the belt and made it tighter and that seemed to solve the issue.
Too much sawdust was building up in the path which cause the router to get backed up and struggle to move forward
Double check the pulley setscrews on all the pulleys.
Make sure that they are tightened on the flats of the stepper motor shafts.

Okay so I checked this and 2 of my 3 motors the set screws are right where they should be. 1 was off I remover the motor and then remover the set screws. The gear would not come off so I could set it right. It was jammed on there bad I tried and tried to safely remove it but ultimately it wouldn’t budge and not the mother doesn’t rotate at all from all my prying on it. Gonna need a replacement part I guess
I did that as well, nice peace of mind, easy to glace at as a check after I do a dumb
