Ive been using the arcdroid with fusion 360 for 7 months now and works great finally got my table built and added the x2. Part 1 cuts fine, when starting part 2 everything is pushed away about 4 inches. So the is a 4 inch gap between part 1 and part 2. What may I be missing ? Plz Help !

@RAWELD

You almost certainly don’t have the X2 encoder box lined up with the drive tang underneath.  
You have to make sure the box is center on the tab or it just floats around and usually causes about a 4" error

so that looks to be correct, I’ve tried calibrating the x2 multiple times, there is still a 1/4 or so offset from part1 to part 2
