    Finally ready for my first cut on my WorkBee 1510 after almost a year of work. BUT!!!

    One side of my gantry isn’t keeping up with the other. It stays about 3/8” offset.

    I’ve re-squared the frame. I’ve checked and re-checked the flex couplings. When I make them even, by manually turning the motor, as soon as I move the gantry one side lags.

    I’ve been banging my head trying to figure this out. Help please!!

    Recheck wiring on the side that lags - if only 3 of the 4 wires are making solid contact, it may do that. Check that wire is inside the terminal (not inserted under the piece that lifts up) and is secure on all terminals and all joints
