The wizard spits out code in Inc. IJ mode.
Try G91.1 at the beginning of the file, or select Inc IJ in Gen Config.

Dont know if it worked but i attached a photo. So anyway whats happening in when i use the mach3 wizard for circle pocket ( 15mm dia, 4mm deep) when the tool does it frist cut all goes well. When it dose the second cut it start to go in a ovel shape, but it does it on all cuts. I set it to cut a 1mm step down.

I would suspect that the problem is mechanical, maybe a loose coupling ?

Check that you are not loosing steps - does the machine return eaxctly to the zero position after it has finished making the oval pockets ?
