Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] emc g92

HI Jon,

Well that sounds like a proper if not a little cumbersome way to start
up, although I guess one could wish for a "restart" key. As long as one
can start the program up where it left off.

I was thinking of M06, not a 'G'. ;>) tool change. Is that the 'S' key?
