I am 32,717 lines into the roughing stage of a project I don’t have time to restart. The project is paused–Is there any way to change the bit and backup a few lines of G Code? Any help, ideas, actual fixes would be greatly appreciated! Using Makita router on X50, used Easel for the G Code. A bit of a newbie, but mechanically inclined and comfortable with computers, if that means anything.
If you are using an Elite machine, here is how to do it.

if you are using the buildbotics controller then the answer is no you can’t. that is one reason many are upgrading to the masso controller.

Still using BB controller, for now. I stopped the program, changed the bit and restarted. The bit ran the exact same route without taking away any material…broke about an inch away from first one. Hit a knot or pushed the bit too hard or both. appreciate the feedback

You can edit the gcode manually. Delete everything above the portion you want to restart except some of the beginning lines of code that start the spindle, set the feedrate and spindle speed, etc. Make sure the code you start at include X, Y, and Z coordinates or you might start at the wrong position.
