Not sure if this is common knowledge, but thought it was worth sharing after my first ever “production” laser engrave job yesterday.
I had reason to pause the “carve” using the 1F controller, to move a clamp to avoid the laser hitting it.
Pause does not stop the laser firing (probably obvious if you think through what pause does), so I finished up with a bit of a burn mark on what otherwise was an 8 hour engrave I was very happy with.
For next time, if I have to pause, I will try to do it when the laser is not actually firing….
