Hi everyone I was traveling the X axis to the right and I think the limit switch failed to signal a Estop. The bed of the mill is stuck there. I reset and tried to move the bed in either direction, no luck. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You might try moving the axis with power off with the back of an old belt on the coupling like this picture

Thanks JW I will give that a try hopefully it's not to jammed up.
I didn't have a old belt handy but I found a small universal delrin clamp that did the trick without damaging the shaft THANKS AGAIN THAT WORKED GREAT.
PathPilot with the revision 1.9.2 when you overtravel a limit, reset the machine and try again to move it off the limit switch, it should move after a reset, if it doesnt try rebooting the software.
To reference the axes the axes need to be off the limit switches.
For PathPilot to operate the axes need to be referenced then the soft limits are active and you cant run past the limits.

Next time I will make sure that I home my machine so the soft limits are working, I'm sure that's what happened and caused the jam it was stuck pretty good but it's working now thanks to all of you.
