Hey Skip,

There are so e topics related to humming sounds that might give a clue on what it is.

> Hi, I’m new to the forum. I’ve had my Altmill for over a year. I noticed a buzzing noise from the Y2 stepper motor when it’s stopped. When I first noticed it, both Y motors were very hot. If I turn off the power, the noise stops and it seems to release tension on the gantry. Leadscrews turn freely and no alarms. Where do I go from here?

Hope you can find out if it’s normal or not. I don’t own a blingmill, so cannot help in that area
