Hello Mach Users,  I am new to cnc, and just learning my way around Mach3. I drew some parts in Autocad and sent them to the machine and after the parts were cut they varied in sizes. A cut that was supposed to finish out at 12' measured  11.948, the next cut was supposed to finish out at 39.125 and finished at 39.0625 (appx.) and a parts that was to finish out at 46.625, finished at 46.5 appx. Can someone please help me with this problem ? The machines motors are tuned to have 1917.812366 steps per inch, if that helps.
