Jason hit it, I second that the encoder is packed with dust.

I did not set a bit optimizationOriginally Posted by fwharris

Set for bestCarve quality setting when you up loaded the project to the card?
This instance was not carving corian....I was carving into red cedar. 12"x24". Never had this issue before for wood

We just saw a y drive bearing failure on a newer machine. His machine changed directions as well.
Things I would try/do:
Reformat the card and re load the project.
Check the encoder in the back of the Z and Y motors. Remove the black cover and check for any dust/dirt build up. Blow it out with LOW volume air. Check the thin disc for any nicks and looseness. Be very careful in handling/working around the disc.

If I understand you are cutting Corian... IF SO.... The Density of Corian and the Slickness could cause the bit to dull quickly and it is just riding up over the Corian not cutting it..... And too, the Y Gearbox can wear quickly cutting Corian. The machine is designed with a feed rate for WOOD.... I would only cut Corian in Optimal Mode to slow down the cutting process slightly. Doing a Draft Cut would make the cutter FLY over the Corian. I would also look for a frozen Y Rail Bearing too... And like others have said to look into the Encoder...
IF you are seeing a REVERSAL of the Y during a cut OR see it jerk then 75% of the time it is the 2 bearings inside the Y Gearbox.
To test the machine I would make a Circle and assign the 1/8 inch cutting bit and a depth of say .1
Put the project in the machine and after the bit checks REMOVE THE BIT.... What this can check is cutting a circle WITHOUT the BIT so you are seeing the motion of the Gearbox under NO LOAD.... IF it jerks then the Bearings or Encoder are bad.

I do cut corian sometimes...but getting away from it and concentrating more on wood. Good tips..thanks
Will check this later. Thanks...sounds like a good testIF you are seeing a REVERSAL of the Y during a cut OR see it jerk then 75% of the time it is the 2 bearings inside the Y Gearbox.
