If that solution works for you then that is the most important thing. 

Just a thought - you could possibly have some 'run-out' on your spindle and the 5mm cutter is cutting oversize ??

I am pleased that you have it sorted.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Changing the units of the "DRO"

Config menu then General Config. Very first option is to lock DROs to setup units.

The perfect solution, something I had overlooked, thanks Hood.

The DRO’s only indicate UNITS.  For example a DRO of 10.0000 will be 10 millimetres when G21 is in operation and 10 inches when G20 is in operation.

There are a number of stand alone programs which will convert the units in your GCode between metric / imperial and imperial / metric – that way the DRO’s will then show your chosen units of measurement.

GCode looks OK and it runs just fine here.

However, the first Z move is a G00 rapid up by 25.4mm – if your Z axis velocity / acceleration settings are set too high then the Z axis may be stalling / loosing steps during this move and then have lost correct position.
Try halving (reduce by 50%) your Z axis velocity and acceleration settings in motor tuning and then see if this makes a difference.

I think the first thing you should do is check your GCode ;
Is your machine / Mach3 doing exactly what the GCode is telling it to do ?
If this is true then it is likely that your CAD/CAM software settings need changing.

Perhaps post your GCode file, then it can be checked here.

There are many possibilities ;

If either R3 or R4 had expired then too much current would flow in the opto isolator circuit. Likewise if the capacitor C9 was faulty there would be similar consequences. There is always the possibility that the opto isolator EL817 is at fault but then – that’s the joy’s of fault-finding.

Hi Vandabrackin,

Thanks for taking the time to come back with the answer and sharing the solution - I am sure it will be most helpful for others that follow.

Check D4, R3 and R4 are OK also check solder joints D4 – R3/R4 – IFR630.
