Hey Mitch,
do you mean, you give a command to move into one direction, and it moves, and you give a command into the other direction, and the axis does not move?
What do you use to give the movement commands to check this?
- G-code commands one by one into the MDI field of the Tabbed Section of the Control Page,
- arrow keys on the Jog Tab, or
- corded gamepad / wireless gamepad?
Does the issue also show up while running a g-code program?
Do you mean the movement of the two Y axis sliders, which hold the X axis? Does this issue appear exclusively on these?
If so, it is known that the Ys can block movement if your machine is not rectangular.
You should check the machine for rectangularity.
This is the “machine squaring” thread:
If you give the machine the command to move towards you, what does it do?
- Simply nothing?
- Or a noise?
- Does it move a very little bit and then stops?
- Do you get some kind of error?
- On display, does the machine set the axis positions to zero as if it had homed?
What happens if you enter

G0 Y-10
G90
into the MDI field of the Tabbed Section of the Control Page?
