    2" square if you use an offset for your tool...

    Are you using a 1/2" tool?

    If I were to cut that with a 1/2" tool, in the direction you're going I'd need a G42 in the beginning, otherwise I'd get a 1" square.

    I'm at a loss...I've had that sort of thing happen, but it was simply due to offsets being entered wrong.

    I figured it out!!! I had my axes setup with the wrong numer.
    it was set up for a 200 stepper motor not a 400.
    was set for 0.00003125
    changed it to 0.00001562
    I am NOW getting a 2 inch square!
