    Machine can't cut straight angled lines.

    My machine is making jagged lines when cutting 45 degree angle paths.
    Anyone know why this might be? I've searched for loose screws and wobbly connects - but everything seems tight.
    Is there a quick fix for this glitch?

    Will it cut a straight line, will it cut a box accurately or do a circle the size its drawn at? If not it could be your Steps are off. Check and see or test.

    Found the problem!
    After tearing it apart - tte X axis belt was.... ruptured.
    Not sure how that happened.
