    Ok, those numbers are different from what you posted the first time.? -0.1 is a long way from 0.996 which is closer to 1mm, however, the error you are seeing is common in Mach 3, it's a rounding up type error and I doubt your machine can resolve to 4 digits, very few can, so I wouldn't worry about it.
    -use common sense, if you lack it, there is no software to help that.
