Hi guys,

working on my first machine and I am using a Hobbycnc pro controller and mach3. I set up motors the same but my Y axis is missing steps. Any help would be greatful.

Thanks

Kasari

Your accel might be too fast in mach3.
Your top speed might be too fast
Check if there is binding in the Y axis. You willl need to remove the lead screw and push the gantry along the rails, it should be smooth all the way.

Thanks Jason, I will check that.

Jason,......Thanks for the info. I found the problem with the motor not aligned correctly. But, I fixed it.

Again, Thanks

Glad to hear you found the problem and fixed it. Now you need to get busy making chips.

Jason
