    Bridgeport EZTRAK Alarm: commanded X-axis move too far positive

    Hello, I am receiving the error "Alarm: commanded X-axis move too far positive" when attempting to home the mill after the initial start-up. The error occurs as the X-axis limit switch is hit. I read through some of the posts here and tried changing the bed size (press * then 11235). I also tried manually moving the table as far away from the limit switch as possible and then rehoming, it still gives me the same error message. Any help is appreciated.

    Also, how do you distinguish a series 1 machine from a series 2? I have the color monitor and "extended keyboard". The machine says it is running version 6.
    Thanks.

    p.s. I am new to this machine.

    Center the table under the spindle. Reaset o for all axis. Then try to rehome. AFIK, that should work.

    HOpefully the "never mind, I found it guy" will share his method. THis is a give and take M/B by the way.....

    EZTRAK 1 has dovetail ways.
    EZTRAK 2 has box ways and supports a lot more weight.
