    it sound like your encoder on your motor might be on the fritz.

    I agree with the encoder more than likely causing your problem. Which axis are you calling Y?

    Thanks for the help guys. I crawled under the machine and disconnected the belt from the motor to pulley and the motor worked fine. After a complete cleaning and greasing of the ballscrew it now moves smoother and quieter than ever. I guess I have to get rid of the 4 inches of sawdust under the machine. Thanks again for taking the time on a sunday to help
