after a few basic cut projects the machine wont jog all the way Forward (-Y)
Lost steps?
What happens if you re-initialize?
I’ve had this happen a couple of times on my Shapeoko 5 Pro 4x4. Somehow, it gets reconfigured back to a 4x2 setting which I’m assuming is some kind of default. If you re-run the machine setup through Carbide Motion for a 4x4 machine, it might correct the problem.
ty, still the same though… it was my understanding that the gantry would move forward of the spoilboard for joinery work ie mortise and tenon, dovetail and finger joints
It will if you set the gantry in the correct position when assembling. You are the one that controls that. The gantry has two positions that are user specific. The manual covers this.

If you want the machine actually forward of the front edge you’ll need to implement “Gantry Shift”:
