    That tells me nothing and Steps per isn't something you guess at it's a fixed number dependant on screw Pitch and Micro stepping.

    One thing that could be doing this is if you have the Units set to Inch but using Millimeter to calculate Steps per.

    No if you can Jog around then everything is working as it should. The only thing that could limit speed is if you have the JOG speed set low.

    No don't worry you don't sound Dumb but just saying I've tried all sorts doesn't help anyone help you so that's why said doesn't tell me anything.

    Give the Info I asked for and we'll see about getting you going.

    post a screenshot of your mach3 motor tuning page? also advise what the microstepping resolution it. if you are direct drive to the ballscrews and they are 5mm pitch, then it is quite simple to set up.
