While running a file on the Shopbot the Y axis shifted. The cut was very light .032 deep with a sharp V-bit. The file ran fine until about half way through the file. The problem occured at the beginning of a new line of code. I started the file again and had the same problem but this time it occured earlier in the file.
This is not the first time this has happened. It has only happened on very light cuts. There were no sounds from the motors or gears to indicate that there was a mechanical problem. What's going on? I'm using the DOS version of SB-Cut on a benchtop Shopbot.
