G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Re: Issue with tranverse within a toolpath

Thanks for the help. I have attached the XML file below. I fiddled with the step and dir pulse timing moving it to 5 from 2 with no love. Also if you see anything else in the XML file that looks hinky let me know. I have been using CNC Routers for a few years but am new to Mach3 so the I am climbing the learning curve now.
The axis does make a strange noise right before it happens. Almost like a loud hum. I have dropped the acceleration on the X and Y axis to see if that does the trick. I am running a tool path now that yesterday it appears I lost 2 1/2 inches on the X axis by the time it was done. It was a path of a lot of little boxes at different depths so my guess is one of those boxes is 2.5" wide.
I will let you know if the acceleration reduction does the trick.
Thanks Again
Eric
