    So I checked the squaring plate and it is dead on. I then leveled the posts and still have movement when coming to the front of the machine. Any more ideas?

    Thanks

    So, this is a new machine with rubber belts. It has always done this drift since you bought it. The squaring plate is square and the head is level. The outfeed rollers are either level or not involved.

    Well, I am almost out of ideas. Inspect the rollers above. Maybe one of the bushings on the end has something blocking it from going up. Try some experiments. Try with different width boards. Try with different head pressure. Try and get some more info.

    Did you check the head for level from keyboard side to the bit plate side?

    Put a full width board in the machine, lower the head down to the board and install the 1/8" straight bit.
    Go to user options-sensor checks-Z data and record the readings as you lower the bit to the board on the keyboard and bit plate sides. If the head is level the reading sound be the same or very/very close.

    How about the whole head being twisted? Shipping damage.
