I have one of the original benchtops. My Y axis (the table) motor started making a grinding sound and not moving. I removed the table and when not hooked up the gear turns by hand ok.
When I tell it to jog 10-20 it moves back and forth. Any help would be GREAT.

David,
Sounds like you have a faulty motor driver. Try turning off control box power, unplug Y motor cable and plug it into the Accessory (A) channel. Then type in VI and make channel 5 the Y axis. You may have to enable 5 axes in the VD fill in sheet.
