... Because it "creeps".
I have only one axis (x) wired right now. When the drive is powered on, but with no input signal, the table imperceptibly slowly creeps. I only noticed it because some tools fell off the table as it moved by perhaps 8 inches in an hour.
There is a "test/offset" pot on the board that, if turned properly, shifts input signal and makes the table move. I could easily set it so that the mill does not _visibly_ move. I have not, however, been able to get rid of the slow creep.
I may call AMC on Monday to find out.
