Well, it's actually a laser, as its only temporarily setup, it has the potential to move. I did try setting home on the machine to a different position, just to make sure it wasnt a certain section of the machine, but got the same thing. I will secure the laser down better tomorrow and give it another try.
I never said it could have been bad axis setup or an option somewhere in mach3, but there are no pointers that my steppers are skipping or belt is slipping.
