OK.I got off of work early and had some time to check some things out. I have been running all 3 axes at full step because I felt that I needed the full torque because my table has 69-1/2 inch long Y axis lead screw and the X has a 47 inch long screw. I have been running at full step since I first put this together and everything that I have ran has been fine except when I had time to try some v-carving projects, It always would cut above the wood after a small amount of time. So, I changed the driver board for Z to half step and ran a small v-carve toolpath and it did not miss a step. Worked great. So next I ran a larger v-carve toolpath(33 mins) and once again it worked great. I should have checked this a long time ago but 99 percent of the stuff I ran was just profile toolpaths and they were always perfect. I feel so stupid. Humility is a great way to learn things. Thanks to everyone who took the time to offer their expertise and advice.
