    Thanks for that post! Super helpful Good idea on the loctite.

    Mitch,

    I got to looking at the cuts on my computer- (I was on my phone this afternoon)... now that I see the deviations... I would have to strongly suspect loose or worn
    pinions, also. Don't want t sound like a broken record, but check those out first!

    Everything works now, thanks for everyone's help!!

    Here's a picture of the most recent Arrow of Light carving:

    It's perfect! All I had to do was re-tighten the y-axis pinion. The accuracy on this machine is incredible.

    Thank you everyone! Fixing this was very important, and I'm glad it worked.
