Well I changed my steps from 640 to 320  and now it cuts perfect mm . But now when I'm cutting  a program  it seems to cut the holes good but then when it's time to cut out the object it starts half way up the material.

Thanks for the reply, when I set up the machine w mach I used the mm , and when I go through mach and look around. The mm button is on.
So according to mach it's in mm.  My Routcad software uses cm . . Not sure what els to try.

I have a 3axis cnc with mach 3  and Routcad software. But every time I draw something in cm in the Routcad then load the gcode in mach3 it starts to cut in a larger  scale.  I've checked everything I know of and it's all showing metric. Any help would be great
