Hi Rich: That is the file I am having trouble with, the outside DIA. is supposed to be 12.5, the ID of the pockets is supposed to be 2"

the pockets keep coming out 2  1/16" and the OD is 12.375"

Well I am about ready to commit harry carry, there is nothing more frustrating than having aCNC machine and not being able to use it.

I am 99.9%  sure the problem is Mach3 but dont know how to fix it, I am still getting 2 1/16" ID on a pocket cut when I clearly asked for 2"

my out side dia. is supposed to be 12  1/2" well in Y axis its 12  1/2 but in X its 12  3/8" I know its not my machine I spent close to three

days going over the whole thing, I damn near tore the whole thing apart and put it back together again, its as tight as a frogs ass.

 I have my steps per in. set right, what else could it be?? HELP please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi; Thanks for the reply, double checked the machine, and everything is tight. Just tried axis calibration and its spot on. Has to be either Vcarve Pro or Mach3

my tool is exactly 1/4 end mill, tool offset is set to 0
