Hi everyone I'm sure this has been asked plenty of times but I can't find it anywhere.

I will start of by saying I know next to nothing about linux systems and cnc machines but I have managed to get my machine up and running and cutting fine but my problem Is it is not cutting the lengths and widths I am telling it too.

I have been through the step on wizard and copied setting of a guy from youtube who has the same setup, could something be wrong there?

Thanks for any help guys

There are several ways to fix that, but we need much more info about the machine and drive system and drives microstepping.
You can try to fix that by opening calibration menu in linuxcnc and change the values of scale there for each axis till you get the exact distance traveled as the one commanded.

Machine menu in Linuxcnc.
There is also the test axis button in stepconfig if that is easier for you.
