    Never used this app, so I don't know what it allows and does not? so it does not let you post. What size tool do you have selected? What side of the line is the tool on?

    is the software set up in inches or mm? is the machine set up in the same units? If you are programming in inches and the machine is thinking it is getting MM, it will be wrong.

    With the original grbl settings i was able to cut a profile circle, just the depth was off. Now it's just doing a whole. Buddy I'm going to have to send you a beer when this is all done.

    it appears to me that your issue is not your machine, it may be the software. one way to test is to use some other software. I use fusion 360. you could create a circle in this app and test.

    I understand. Reach out if you need anything. I have a 1000 X 1500 I built. I am almost done dialing in the calibration.

    When you get a minute or feel like getting back to it, can you post a video of the hole running or an image.

    Hey Zach,

    What has been your total cost so far? I've been looking to build a similar machine to yours but I haven't started pricing things out yet. I'm just curious if you don't mind sharing.

    Hey bud,

    I think I'm in it roughly around $1,300, That's included some extras I had to purchase to get my computer updated to work. Hope that helps. If you need any assistance feel free to ask away.
