Hi. I have used the mach 3 software to scale the stepper motors, and they move the correct distance on each axis. I have reduced the motor accelerate, I have checked that the mach 3 is in the mm setting.i have made sure that the correct ccutting tool dimensions are bring used.
I have used the road runner demo and it cuts correctly. But when I try to cut with the vcarve g code, the machine trys to cut to large a work and I need to end the process as the machine runs off the bed.
I have ulso used Cam editor to read the g code produced by vcarve and the diameters come out correctly.
And you are not coming on to strong, I am glad of the help.
