Typically the problem is with cutting in the lower corners, where the the chain to nearest motor is nearly vertical, so it doesn’t have enough sideways force to keep the sled near the edge.

Solutions include moving the motors farther out (say 12 feet rather than 10), or sliding the work piece toward the center where this isn’t a problem.
