    Always best to have a square machine, but if you're still out after days of tweaking and you're able to measure the discrepancies, you might consider software correction:

    That link's for EMC (Linux CNC) - I imagine that there's also a way to achieve this in Mach.

    Once again, there's no substitute for a mechanically accurate, well set-up machine, but if you're only able to make ham-fisted adjustments that aren't working for you, then this might be an option.

    That was my plan B but I might actually do as a plan A instead, I can actually compensate for it in AutoCad...thanks
