    My lead 1515 cnc machine stops randomly towards the end of surfacing. The x motor does not get hot when its going side to side
    I'm only taking off .02 at a time with 50 percent stopover
    Things I've done to try and fix the problem
    -switched motors
    -checked all connections
    -tighten loose bolts
    -put a fan on the x motor
    -cleaned track out really well. (It was previously get stuck with the build up)
    For some reason it will never fully finish

    I had a camera mounted on a motor would create a false alarm on the motor to cause everything to stop ?

    The link would have advised to check the Fault LED first, if that is what comes on, it should have been turned down. Just something to keep in mind if the issue reoccurs - if that was the root cause - turning it up should overheat the drivers faster

    Yeah there was never a flashing light I did mark where it was previous set i will adjust it back.. with the grounding I was getting shocked pretty good.. maybe it was just that. It's working really good currently.
