Hodges, you should see some of Zealous's guitars he made. Unreal. I sent you a personal message. 
Machine is inconsistent on axis travel distance - moving 1 inch does not yield one inch all the time, very inconsistent results. I tried the button under settings tab to test the movement and setting the motor steps but it keeps increasing my motor steps every time.I think you are skipping steps. Try to tune your motors down and see if that helps. You are skipping steps, have a slipping mechnical connection, or fighting noise. I guess in that order of most probable.
Even though the machine is referenced and homed, my ref all button moves the axis beyond softlimits. when I jog the softlimits work just fine, but If I press ref all it moves beyond softlimits.This is how it works. You don't want your softlimits to be too close to your home positions. The way it is normally set, Ref. all home, jog until you are in your softlimits range and then enable your soft limits.
Under screw mapping, the length for all screws is 1300. I am not sure what that number is and I could not find a reference to it on the internet. Is that the correct setting. My y and a screws are 43" from tip to tip and my x is 26". Z axis is 12".I wouldn't mess with screw mapping just yet, I doubt you will need it at all. Screw mapping is for Mapping your screws. I'd guess this is used for less than 1% of Mach users if any. It's purpose is , if you have sections of your screw that very in pitch from one section of the screw to another.
