had a look at the new file, it seems fine to me, apart from the feed which is set at 12000mm/minute, very fast but depends on how good your machine is. Personally I would say that is the cause of your problems but that is just my thought

My machine definitely isn't great. I have a huge list of upgrades that are needed. Primarily around driving the various axis.

@Johngoodrich i think you where right. I was pushing the machine way too fast.
I have slowed it right down to between 5 and 15 mm/sec dependent on the material.

I am also doing numerous passes depending on the thickness, so no errors as yet.

:D
