X axis not going all the way


Hello my x axis when going over to one side will start making a grinding noise and then stop about 3 1/2” from the end on one side, wondering if anyone else had this problem before and how to fix it?

Check to see if you got a y lead screw bracket mixed up with a x axis lead screw bearing bracket, it happens.

I checked the screws look normal and it runs smoothly everywhere except on the one side on my x axis

Trying to put a video of it on here but won’t let me…

As @rat196426 mentioned, check to make sure that you have installed the correct X Axis Lead Screw Bearing Mount in that location. If you installed the wrong one it will cause binding at the location you have shown.

I recommend turning the machine off and then turning the lead screw by hand in that area to see if you feel any obstructions or hard spots.

Check to make sure the mounts are correct for that axis. The X axis mounts are a lil shorter than the Y axis.
