Looking for some advice on an intermittent x axis fault

Hi Sam
I have no experience of operating a CNC device, but in the early days i followed all of the build logs on the forum and it was recommended that screened cable only be grounded at one location only(usually your electronics cabinet) spindle especially.

The frame is grounded on each axis and and the spindle cable is grounded at both ends.
Regards

Hi Mike
Yeah from what I've read it seems like quite a contentious issue whether you ground on one or both end but since the position loss happens even with the spindle and vfd off it seems unlikely to be causing the problem. Thanks for the suggestion though
