Have tried this carve, starting from scratch multiple times, and have had the same issue. Redid the design, same issue. The carve worked perfect on a test. I then installed the dust control and every carve since has been problematic. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/0/5/05178eb5bfedb2a13dd2baafdfda1d9623d546b1.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/2/d/2db3a7abb6a2195c9a358e14ce1a35111cad0f32.jpeg) ---

Hi Trevor & welcome 🙂 Looks like your X-axis is loosing steps, either from mechanical binding or too much friction. Bit also seem to be no good and/or too aggressive feed rate due to the amount of fuzzies. What RPM/feed rate/bit/depth per pass did you try? ---

Guessing this isn’t good. ---

No that’s not good. Take the router off and check the screw going into the delrin nut. Also check the eccentric nut and the bolt on the V wheels. This is just a picture of the bolt and eccentric nut, its the Y axis but they are the same. The eccentric nuts are on the bottom ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/9/0/90559551692f8883b54fa3a658fe1d25a3f54e6e.jpeg) ---

I have a similar problem with the carve shifting on left ![20200405_230625](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/1/1/11831d607a8bd636d5c3263ccf6ee97e693da2b1.jpeg)
