SUCCESS!
CRTL-Z did it! woohoo! I found out on another board to try pressing CRTL-Z after I send the code, this took the machine out of edit mode and allowed me to run the program.
I safeguarded the machine but stacking 4 pieces of hardwood on the table, cutting the top one only about 0.125" down. I ran the sample code that the seller gave me and while wood isn't the best to machine (frayed edges) it did look just like the piece they machined. Now to remember how to zero the machine each time. I'd like to have the zero be right at the center of the table travel for X and Y, is there an easy way to do this?
