it could be some of the problem Doddy, but i can see the same pattern in this acrylic test, same settings just different material.

But all in all i am chuffed to bits with the fact the thing works, i do have one more question - who am i kidding, like its going t be the last question!!!

i cut a complex pocket file with lots of short moves and direction changes and the noise/resonance from the steppers was horrible, the file cut ok but seemed to be rattling the fillings out of the machine, can i tune some of this out playing with the stepper tuning?
