    The only way that can happen is if you've got your motor tuning wrong.
    Motor tuning units are set for all axes at once so you can't have a mix.
    If tuning units are set to mm and X and Y work fine you will get really close if you take the number for "steps per" currently set for Z and multiply it by 25.4, Mach3 can't tell when you instruct it to do stupid things, it simply does what it's told.

    You think that's too expensive? You're not a Model Engineer are you? :D
