The problem you have is your steps per unit equate to 0.0185mm per step step so really that is the minimum distance Mach can move.

So what do you suggest I do.  I am microstepping my driver (1/16 step)currently.
  Should I change it to half step and then use another value for my step setup Or am I barking up the wrong tree.

Really its not going to make a huge difference and I presume its a router so its probably more of a visual annoyance seeing the numbers in the DRO than of an accuracy issue. The problem withthe standard Mach screens is they are designed for Imperial so have 4 decimal positions, a metric one would be fine with 2 or possible 3 depending on the type of the machine, a router may even be fine with 1? You can easily change that by editing the screen and choosing the decimal places, for example I have 3 on my screens but my resolution is 0.000625mm per pulse.
