For those new to CNC (like me) and have an X-Controller… that big red button is not to be intimidated by. It will save your hiney a number of times and usually after the blood pressure has subsided from the trauma of a bad carve the tendency is to forget that it is pressed down…
So, if you don’t see a green light on the front of your X-Controller when turning it on… do yourself a favor and check the e-stop…
