That makes no difference
In that case, there are many things to things to check in sequence order.
1. Mechanical - Check esp. motor to ball screw coupling. Is anything loose or broken. Are they well lubricated. Are shafts parallel?
2. Electrical - any dry joints or loose connection on the wiring from Break out board and drivers to the motors. VERY COMMON!
3. is the ampereage and sub-step settings at the driver correct?
4. Mach3
4.1 Is pulse rate too high?
4.2 Is speed and acceleration set too high.
4.2 What is the step pulse and direction pulse too low. Try 15 and 15 to see if it makes any difference. Then decrease.
4.3 Have the z axis travel been calibrated?
4.4 Are there any entries in the tool table for radius and length compensation?
4.5 Are you using the Auto tool Zero probe to zero z axis?
