CNC STONE SHARK | 14 

 

At this point, all the steps necessary to run the toolpath have been taken.  

Next select the ‘Start’ button 

and the CNC STONE SHARK will start to machine the part. 

You’ll notice you have complete control to 

pause and resume should you need to check something. The slide bar for speed override allows you to 
compensate for things like denser material than what you had originally designed the program for. And 
of course, the E-Stop in case you need to stop everything in a panic.  (We d

on’t recommend using the 

small 

X

 to stop the cutting as it can confuse the machine, it is only used to back out to the previous 

page)
