I have been having intermittent problems with my X axis. They seem to have settled into permanent. If I turn off the controller and use the handwheel, it works. If I connect the X control cable to the Y motor, X controls Y just fine. I conclude therefore that the motor has failed. I need to order a new motor obviously.
In the meantime, I am finishing cutting the 45 degree diagonal mirror holder with 2 axes CNC and 1 axis CEC (Clayton E. Cramer). I advance X about .050 by handwheel, then run a program that cuts in Y at .1 ips, then makes a cleaning cut backward at 1 ips. It is slow, but with this depth of cut, it works. I can get work done preparing next semester while it is cutting in the Y axis.
