Canceling a Job

Use Stop to abort the current job. The run ends immediately; it does not continue from the same place. Use this only when you intend to cancel the run.

What you’ll do​

  • Abort the running job with Stop
  • Confirm in the dialog
  • Understand that the job will not resume from that point

When to use it​

  • Wrong part, wrong zero, or wrong file
  • Tool or machine problem
  • You need to halt the job and not continue

For a temporary pause (check part, clear chips, etc.), use Feed Hold and Resume instead. See Pausing and resuming.

Steps​

  1. Stop — On the Monitor screen, click Stop (or equivalent).
  2. Confirm — A confirmation dialog appears. Confirm that you want to abort.
  3. Result — AxioCNC stops sending G-code. The controller stops motion. The job is ended.

What happens when you cancel​

  • Execution stops — No further G-code is sent for that job.
  • Position — The machine remains where it was when you stopped. You may need to retract, re-home, or re-zero before running again.
  • Spindle — Typically you should turn off the spindle yourself if it’s still running.
  • State — The controller may be in an alarm or hold state. Reset it if required before the next run.

After canceling​

  • Move the machine to a safe position (e.g. retract Z, move off the part) if needed.
  • Reset the controller if it’s in alarm.
  • Fix whatever caused the abort (zero, file, fixture, tool).
  • Reload the file, re-zero if necessary, and start a new run. You cannot “resume” a stopped job.
warning

Stop is final for that run. Always confirm you mean to abort before clicking.
