General Mach Discussion / Re: Steppers and mach out of sync

to cut a long story short my x axis which is directly driven by a leadscrew will not consistently match up with the DRO readings in mach 3.
For this statement to be true the step pulses that Mach sends out are not being translated correctly by the stepper motor.
Have you thoroughly checked all the obvious mechanicals such as slipping coupling joining leadscrew to motor, tight or binding spots on the slides or leadscrew, anything loose etc etc ?
