    so your cutter is a 3mm cutter?
    Surely that is an 1/8" cutter?

    Are we actually sure these are metric screws? did they kick you a machine built for our American cousins and give you one with imperial screws?

    Im not sure what they are but something is not right but then when its cutting a circle we can get him to look a bit deeper into it.. I do however suspect you may be correct at least in some part..

    No idea, it came with a 220v PSU not that that means diddly squat - so if I tear it down to the point I can reach the screws how do you do measurements, the same as measuring the pitch on a normal screw?

    Ok divide 200 ~ (the 'steps-per' that is set on the axis in motor tuning) by the cut measurement minus the cutter measurement(Dia 3mm as the software is running in metric mode 0r 1/8" if you require brain drain ), and then multiply by the measurement you told it to cut which was 100mm..
