Enter as much information about your CNC hardware and software as you can - it makes it easier for everyone to know what you're talking about then.

If a machine is found to be moving 10 times too much, or 10 times too little, then its because the wrong machine is selected in the software.

Eg, The machine has microstepping drives, but the software thinks it is normal stepping, because the wrong machine variant is selected, so outputs 10 times too few step commands.

There is some confusion with VR Milling 2 where a
RouterProNS is not a microstepping machine
RouterV5ProNS is a microstepping machine
