OK, ever since I converted my Bridgeport to CNC the X and Y axis lock up when trying to make shallow moves at the same time. So let's say when trying to go from Y0.2 X0.1 to Y8 X.2. I think it's because the machine is trying to move that shallow sliver of a move of X over such a long distance. I noticed it during drilling cycles originally. And before you ask I've tried everything slowing down the motor in motor turning and changing the accerlation down. The motors are more than strong enough 1200 oz. steppers at 150 IPM it can pull me across the floor without missing a step, but even then I tuned them down to 70 IPM as my top speed and of course it still happens.
Some things I noticed months and months ago when trouble shooting it, I readjusted my Y gibs, they were a little loose. I eneded up just forgetting about it and just altering my Gcode to make each move separately until it gets to where it's going. Instead of X2Y2 on one line I would say X2, [new line] Y2, just to be safe. The weird parts is I use this mill all the time doing very complex 3 and 4 axis stuff and it never messes up until I get to shallow moves on a drill cycle; that is until yesterday I was doing some pocketing where there were some extremely shallow moves and it messed up, luckily I was there to Feed Hold and resetup.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm just worried that it's going to mess up somthing real important.
