Calibrated machine to Mach3 , I guess that's steps per unit ? In M3 you put in a unit of measurement , 0 the DRO , M3 moves the axis , then input the actual distance it moved.
Had to re-calibrate , because I was trying to setup M3 spindle speed control , and coolant on/off , but MFG'er gave me the wrong info to change and I had to reload M3 and lost original Cal. numbers.
But what stumps me is , I had to rewrite the G code to get it to work properly again , slot size stayed the same , the spacing changed?
ETA; I've been really watching the return to 0 numbers since , it's REALLY accurate (to me at least ) always goes back within .0002 of 0 ,many times back to 0 , I assume that's good ?
