If can also be of any help: mine is a Jan 04 model (SL30) Lathe and when restarting make absolute certain to have the turret jogged to a safe enough position to do a full rotation of the turret. If you restart the program from a tool and it's offset anywhere in the program mine, firstly indexes to the previous tool used on the program then it rapids to the last rapid point of that (previous) tool, then it indexes to the tool you are calling up of course reading all you work offsets and tool geometries for that tool. On top of this if your still with us, make it a rule to start from a safe offset or tool offset callup point of your program. I am sure others would agree. Takes abit of experience but, mate, it's worth it.
Cheers buddy, happy new year, to you too Geoff
