X Axis Gantry Alignment

Shop has a legacy Crossfire 2x2, set it up to run for the first time in a few years. everything works great, except the squares we are cutting are not coming out square. Reading the forums it seems like the X axis gantry is not aligned, and people mention and alignment process, but i can not find instructions to said process. If some one could throw me a link to it that would be great.

Thanks!

Check this thread… it’s a usuable method to align the X Axis…

completed alignment, and total error accumulates to about a quarter inch at the very end of the x axis travel. the problem is, i can not rotate the gantry any further towards square. is there another method to shift the X axis gantry than loosening the 2 mounting bolts and mounting screws?

You can loosen all of the bolts that hold the bearing block plates on the Y axis and move the weldment.

if you 're looking to level it in the up and down direction, check out this video. I did that when i had the 2x2 and it was pretty spot on.

the up down direction seems more or less fine
