I had three set ups on the table of this Bridgeport knee mill and I tried to squeeze another job on to the very left side of the table and while working on it. I bottomed out my X axis, I can not move the handle either direction. Please help.

Judiciously......
Is the end bracket, DRO scale etc crashed into something solid like the knee? Power feed? Is it being loaded beyond backlash?
Start by removing the left handle and brackets, then loosening the gibs. Without a picture, is there potential of exceeding table weight capacity ~750 pounds, severely off-center, or both?

it was the power feed, I looked at it the next day and unbolted the arm. Thank you for the response.
