    I'd double check the calibration, then mark the z-shaft, create a program that runs the Z up/down a hundred or so times, and check it's returning to the same mark.

    If that reveals nothing, try modelling and machining a simple stepped block, to see if it's a fusion or machine problem.
    While machining pay attention to where the mark on the shaft is at a known position, then return to that position at the end to see if anything has moved.
    This has only been a problem with the last 2 setups I have ran.
    All the ones before executed as expected.

    I wouldn't make assumptions!
    Are your previous setups still working as expected?

    My stock in Fusion is the same size as my actual stock. My part is the same height as the stock so no offsets.

    I am manually moving the bit down till it touches the surface. It has been more than accurate for what I am doing. Not 0.3mm out though..

    I am pretty sure this is a thing in CAD though not the machine or my physical setup of it.

    I can test tomorrow.
