Hey Tom,

> I followed the YouTube videos on setting up the machine and squaring it. When i booted the system and homed the machine, the left Y rail stops ~ 1/4" short of the end. However, the right Y rail comes fully to the end stop. Measured both rails on the table and they are an equal distance from the table end.

measuring this does not ensure rectangularity. The manufacturer’s assembly instructions do not include a safe method to ensure the **rectangularity** of the machine. Many users have already noticed that after assembling, their machine was not “square”. Your machine [could be a parallelogram](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/is-your-router-frame-a-parallelogram-mine-was/6086) instead of a rectangle. This can be checked with a method [like this](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/is-your-router-frame-a-parallelogram-mine-was/6086/61).

Adjusting this would usually require to unscrew the rear **or** the front feet of the machine and repositioning them a little more to the left or to the right.

You can also avoid problems with rectangularity prior to assembling by finding and marking the correct locations for the holes for the feet of the machine by using one of the geometrical methods described in the thread above.
