    Machine ran very well up until this happen. I came down to the shop and turn on the power then went through the homing of the drives and all went well until I rapped the X to the middle of the table and the drive stopped and the machine just shut down. I had to reset the power on panel and when I pushed on the power button is when the X drive ran over the safety stop. I had to by hand turn the belt on the drive motor to move table off of switches. I did that about 3 times trying to get it to run. Each time it ran over the safety switch.

    No, the wiring was never mess with .Machine ran very well up until this happen. I came down to the shop and turn on the power then went through the homing of the drives and all went well until I rapped the X to the middle of the table and the drive stopped and the machine just shut down. I had to reset the power on panel and when I pushed on the power button is when the X drive ran over the safety stop. I had to by hand turn the belt on the drive motor to move table off of switches.
