I was having Y error axis stall. Machine has 300+ hours. Replaced Y and Z bearings. No more stalls. Carved 4 crosses and the came out perfect. The 5th cross started carving incorrectly about 30% into the carve. Any ideas why? This was the 5th carve since new bearings.

My guess would be a Y belt slip. (Bit a little duller after all the carves and so harder on the belt.) Try retightening the belt.

Since it continued to track correct after it moved over.... I would say some dust in the encoder....

WAG.... Wild AL Guess...
