So I’m flattening a slab and am about 80 % through it. It just stops and give me and 907 x axis travel exceeded line 78 After researching it, this is what I found on line NNNNN. Cause: Software travel limit would be exceeded by the requested move. Effect: Job canceled. Removed: Start of new job The spindle is over a foot from the True X axis limit. Has anyone experienced this? If so, how do you fix it? ![IMG_3702](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/avidcnc/original/2X/d/d204f0d03bbe3a0c9d3a0acbd413f7abb56cc01a.jpeg) Line 78 is in BOLD text ---

The software is looking ahead and would go to x -.250 but it would be outside your machine’s limits, so it stops. How far left can you jog the x-axis? Make sure your program doesn’t go past that area. There are various ways to do this, depending on what you use (Fusion / VCarve, etc) ---

I’m a foot away from the edge. I’m using v carve pro; how do I make sure that the program doesn’t go past that area? ---

It’s look ahead. Yes, your DRO is showing it at 18" from the edge at that moment. When you jog all the way to your X minus limit what does the DRO show? You’d need to know that first. ---
