So I went and ate and stopped thinking about it and then went back and moved the little brake lever on the X axis so it's disengaged so its all back to good. Does this mean my brake is bad?
I've had my SlantPro since September and use it every few days. I was running a part today and noticed that the X axis is squeaking. X travel at high speed tends to stall the motor. I have a manual oiler that I pump every day or so and have filled it a couple times. I also reached up under there and it's oily and looks fairly clean with a mirror.
Sounds like by X gibs need adjusting, but why now? I probably have 200 hours on it.

Sounds like the brake is not being powered when it should be. Could be the brake itself, wiring, or a relay in the panel. Check the brake coil with an ohmmeter. Not sure what the power on voltage should be.
