General Mach Discussion / Re: Can not seem to carve out a simple box ?

Hi,
I suspect that your machine is interpreting Gcode in different units at different times.
If you have a Gcode job which is drafted in inches code G20. If the job is drafted in mm code G21.
Clearly you are most comfortable with inch units. I would therefore set your machine up so when you fire Mach up its in inch mode.
Note that's not the same as native units, you'll set those once and never have to touch them again and you will not see or hear of them
either.
On the Config/General Config page, near the middle and top is a box called 'Initialisation String', add G20 to it. Now when Mach fires up it will
be in inch mode.
