I took my machine apart to install my QCW and now when I try to move the or y axis it makes a loud shuttering noise I checked the wiring to-make sure I didn’t have some thing backwards the z axis works fine has anyone else had that problem or any idea by it would be doing this

Hey John,

did you check [your machine is “squared”](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/is-your-router-frame-a-parallelogram-mine-was/6086), i.e. the rectangularity between X and Y axes?

[X/Y Rectangularity: The most simple methods](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/before-you-setup-your-woodworker-an-alignment-guide/8919/8)

Also worth reading:

Agree with Aiph5u, your machine is likely not square.

Do not assume that the Y rails are the exact same length. Mine are not. Square from the front of the machine so when you home you are hitting stops that are square to one another.
