Wouldn't my other axis have the same issue? I ran test successfully. What do you mean by add-ons?

Also, I was missing mostly all of my MDI, Toolpath, and Offsets screens. I reloaded it and the problem was resolved. I am still missing most of my fly out screen that controls feedrate, etc.

Hi, my "y" axis stepper motors won't reference. When I execute the ref. command, they start buzzing/grinding. I turned the acceleration and speed down, but issue still persists.

Hey Hood! my issue now is the "y" axis motors (stepper) they are making a grinding noise when i move the gantry w/ the hotkeys or when i reference. Any ideas?

Cut an octagon on Friday! Cut was nice! However, i had to turn the feedrate down on the mach3 program run screen. This is after i set the optimum travel speed and set the correct arc voltage. Also, gantry still wants to travel to the opposite end of the table after the "y" axis is referenced. The 2 stepper motors start grinding and the carriage doesn't want to move! On the octagon, all the vertical (y axis) cuts have a rigid finish. Seem to have a racking problem. It is supposed to correct itself after referencing but doesn't! Thanks, Fritz
