Hi Hugo,

  This problem is intermittent and happens mostly in the X axis. It seems as if 
the machine has a hard time understanding just how wide the column should be. I 
have changed the feeder gear twice now and the first time it was horribly 
broken. The problem is not reproduced in the same spot on both machines so it 
is not in the design. But it can be in the same spot on one machine. If I load 
the design to the next machine and pick up where I left off, the problem is 
gone. Yes the Melco tech did reproduce the problem but could not solve it. Both 
techs Brad Costan and Steve Stephenson (Brad is the better of the two - we had 
a bad experience with Steve) tried. I noticed that I had a bad (smaller) bar on 
the second part of the WACF (was broken in two) on the one machine and the 
problem went away on it after changing the bar AND re-replacing the thread feed 
gear. It did not look broken but rather worn down and may have been slipping, 
so I adjusted the spacing between the two gears by 
 loosening the pinch roller assembly and moving it the tiniest bit closer to 
the new feed gear. I'm hoping the problem stays at bay but that is just the 
last effort to fix this. Otherwise I am at wits end! I have been battling this 
for way too long and these machines are too expensive to not have working 
properly. Thanks for any help you can give!
