First welcome to the forum Rich.

Can you supply some more info ie does it have ball screws or lead screws, what are you calling the Y axis (is that the long axis or the gantry)

Can you move the axis freely without the motor attached. A lot of those type of machines need squaring up to make them run smooth. Pictures would help.
