General Mach Discussion / Tracking problem
« on: October 13, 2023, 09:47:31 AM »
Hello Everyone
Im trying to do a 3D carving roughly 26 x 26 to give to are fire department for all the work they have done with the forest fires this year
Started my rough passes with a 1/4" round over bit (brand new) taking about a 1/16th off at a time at a very conservative speed. It did the first pass fine from what I could see it came back to start the second pass when I paused the run brought the router back to my G55 point and I noticed the Y axis was dead on as was the Z but the x seemed to be off slightly.
So the next day I REF all and zeroed on my G55 and started the second pass it went fine for a hour then for some reason it just tracked 6" to the right and continued its run from there
As soon as I caught it I E stopped, hit Go to home in the pic you can see Y and Z seem fine but X is way off
Ive delt with coupler slippage earlier, my couplers are marked and i drilled a 1/16" hole opposite the tightening screw. then cut the drill bit and glued it in there as a pin. The motor side is keyed
So Im not sure just how to proceed. I cant image getting almost done and having this happen
Any and all help is greatly appreciated
Have a great day
