    segmenting

    You should be able to turn then sync the subspindle. I promise G650 sync turn is the best way to remain true lengths.

    I had a similar problem and it was the fan dirty. Crazy.

    Working on an L3 16/20 with meldas 320 controller it was one of the fans to the drives having a ton of dirt and grime. You should open up the rear cab and clean with a shop vac. Do not use compressed...
