Ok try this xml and see, but be careful and hand near the E-Stop.

we do not use a tool of 0.5mm
we use only a tool of  4 mm
to get a drill of (nearly) 4mm we use in autocad (via DXF and lazycam) a circle of 0,5mm

one xml had a tooldia entry and the other didn't. the one that did  was the one above so maybe that is your problem, let me know how it works but be ready with the E-Stop just in case.
Might even be worth cutting air on the first run to see if it looks ok.

All I did was delete the <ToolDia>0.5</ToolDia>  entry.
It may not do anything at all but I am unsure why it is in the xml when your other one does not have it.
If you still get problems it may be an idea to clone the good xml from the Mach Loader and then reverse the axis as you have and see if the problem persists.

Yes thats why I took out the entry in that one rather than putting it into the other one.

good day again hood
we used your file, no problems with the milling, but the incorrect dimensions are still there....
we have the same missing 1mm on all circles of the test file we send you in G code
we will clone the good XML and try again
until later

Edited your code a bit (depth and feedrate) and ran your file, reversed the axis and restarted Mach and ran it again, both came out the same size, see pic.
The big circle on the left is deeper as I forgot to edit the depth but otherwise they are identical.
