I didn't notice this until I cut something today that had to be right (bracket for a truck), most of the time cutting a sign or something it doesn't matter if it comes out +/- 1" in size.

I had something drawn in CAD that was 27", it cut at about 26.25", the whole piece is wrong (all the holes are in the wrong spot).

What could I be doing wrong? It cant be a inch/mm problem because it is only off a relatively small amount, there is no slop in the table either.

If you look in the plasma insctructional there are two different motor tuning values. PM me your values and I will give you the other set. Then a quick test and your golden.

I found out that was probably the issue last night after some searching (plus after your response that made me feel more confident that was the issue). I changed them to the other set and all is well. Just hate I wasted that piece of 1/4" steel!!
