sorry about that hood to be honest i didnt know how to supply the info you requsted ive come to the conclusion that it must be code related ive down loaded some g codes in the free codes section seem to work fine since i will be mainly doing ingraving name tags for my work   i downloaded desk engrave and now when ingrave the letters are slightly stagered on the x axis  once again i opologize for not supplying info thanx

hi guys im a newbie and struggling with mach 3 im running it on a lap top i know this is not recommended but i will get pc once i work out if it will help solve my prob The problem is i run the code (engraving) when it starts cutting its at the correct z axis depth but every time the cutter goes to job it cuts progressively deeper on every letter  this is killing me mentally
