General Mach Discussion / Mach3 Problem? How do I check to know?

« on: September 27, 2007, 08:37:38 AM »

I'm a noob and have had a recurring problem.  Small test models come out fine.  I change step over down to .05-.02 and my models often come out 1+mm too thick.  I've eliminated tool shift in the chuck, all Z axis issues (checked before and after models and its dead on), and Lex at Desk Proto has reviewed my G Code and its fine. 
So now I've come to find out how I can detect if Mach3 is giving me this problem.  I know nothing to suggest it is, except process of elimiantion.  Which has taken almost two months of head banging. 
The other day I ran three parts on one wax.  No tool change.  First two 2mm thick as desired.  Changed step over in DP, ran the third part (for four hours) and it was 1.2mm too thick.  Z checker varified Z was zeroed before and after the run. 
Any hints or tips would be grealy appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
