Hey Tweakie,
Thanks for the suggestions... I did those already, before I posted my problem... I got it figured out. I slowed down the acceleration of the Z axis slightly first - This did nothing!!! Problem was still there.... I put it back to normal. The thing that fixed the depth problem was this: I changed the Z1.0000 to Z2.0000 for the free travel - No more error with the depth at Z0.0000 increasing!!! Weird... I guess going up then down by only 1mm caused the stepper to increase by 0.1mm each time it went down!!! When I changed the travel to 2mm, it stopped!! Very Strange... Oh- I'm using a 6040 machine.
