General Mach Discussion / Re: Drifting in the Y axis

Just a thought but if you are using stepper motors then it could be that you are loosing steps. One of the most common causes of this is binding or tight spots on the axis travel coupled with insufficient drive torque from the stepper motor.
As it is only occurring on the this one axis and only in one direction I suggest you look for a mechanical cause before suspecting anything else.
