General Mach Discussion / X Axis clunking - Skipping Steps
« on: March 17, 2019, 10:27:26 PM »
Hi.
I have a 3 axis CNC that I have just built using Nema24 Steppers on all Axis. The X axis has 2 steppers slaved via Mach3.
All axis work fine except X. It seems to miss steps (you can see and hear it) in a certain direction while running a program. I can't replicate it while jogging.
The unit uses Mod1 Racks with 20T gears for both X and Y.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
