Another potential concern with this: If the machine is moving in a direction other than what you 'think' it should be (and not actually binding anywhere) I would check my coordinate system and make sure that I set my origin in the Cam/Manufacturing to the same location that you are setting up your X/Y/Z on the physical machine. This means more than just ensuring Z is 'up'. You also want to make sure that the X and Y axis are correct. Meaning: If you want your machine Work Material Zero to be front Left, you will want to make sure that your machine movement and G-Code are the same - so (for how I have my CK set up and what I think is the 'normal way') Y+ makes the gantry move towards the back of the machine. X+ moves the Z-Plate to the right side of the machine. And of course, Z+ moves the Z-axis up.
If the WCS, or origin, is set up incorrectly you would have 'odd behavior'. So If I set up one of these up, incorrectly, to the Front Right Corner in my cam software - it thinks it needs to move the machine back (Y+) and Left (X-). If you already have the Machine maxed to the Front Left, it might not have enough travel in X- before it reaches its 'hard limits' (or the size of the bed entered via parameters).
The WCS/Origin thing is a learning curve for sure. And is a reason I almost always do an 'air' pass with a program for its first run - or at least a couple of minute's worth of it. Then throw in a bit and let the chips fly.
Hope this, or other suggestions help!
