I have started in the middle of a program several times. It works best for
me on a Fanuc control. Scan through the program to find where you need to
restart and wright down the line N number or put a N number there. Start
the program running in single block mode. Single block through the
beginning of the program until you load the tool and execute the tool
length and spindle speed comands. Some times I will let the control execute
the first position move then I will put the control in manual mode and
search through the program to the N number line in the program that has an
X & Y location move of where I want to restart at. Put the control back in
run mode and push start and single block through a few lines to make sure
everything is alright. Take off single block and off you GO. Some times it
takes a little work but I have had good luck this way. Play around with
this method with the tool removed to see if it will work for you.
Good Luck.

If have a run time of 2 hours and my cutter snaps at 1.5 hours into it how
can I start again at the point of breakage.
I have tried starting in the middle of progam before without success.
I believe it needs to see the header code to know cutter comp, fixture
offsets, feeds, speeds ect.
How can I do this...
Thanks
