Are your tiles 'too big"? As in too long for your machine.

Your x y position doesn't change so the T2 starting position should be exactly the same place as T1, if it's cutting T1 ok then there shouldn't be a problem with T2 as the tile size should be exactly the same. As Randall has said the file might help if this is a software problem but won't if this is actually a machine issue, in that case a couple of pictures might help :lol: :lol: :lol:
