Thanks Jon. Yeah - not good! This is my 5th attempt at machining this pattern, and it was going perfectly - the best yet. :'( Does anyone know how to tell what shut it off? I was poking around /var/log but there is an overwhelming number of lines to sift through, and I am not even sure what I should be looking for. >> I was way into a g-code file (over an hour).

I guess I overlooked the "Run from selected line" option because it didn't have an icon. Alas, I didn't mark my home on the piece, so I don't think I will be able to position it properly.
