I have a problem with cutting to size.
I have steppers, and have set the steps so that in the MDI mode I tell it to move any amount in both X & Y axis the amount of movement is exact.
I cut circles they are perfectly round.
When I cut any of the shapes from the NFS wizards or any toolpath for that matter all the shapes are .63mm under size regardless of the cutter size selected or the size of the shape.
I can work around this by editing the tool and increasing the size of the nominated tool by .63mm.
What is going on here, any Ideas.

Are your settings in ports & pins - mill options correct?

Do you have a tool offset loaded that may be affecting your cutter path?
