I THINK I held the pendant hard to the left with X selected and continuously hit "reset". After reffing the axes, I have had Z go off to the limit switch once too and hang.
I don't know what the heck I'm doing of course., but Mach was always responsive to a reset once a limit switch was tripped.
The other strange thing, I used the conversational programming to do a facing operation in midair, and everything went as expected except that the spindle never ran despite having s 500 in the G code.
Wish I knew what the heck I was doing.... LOL
