    Scaling problem

    I was trying to have the rotary axi installed for the sherline machine.
    I was able to get all the 4 axis running, but the problem is that the x y z axis are not having the right scaling. ie. G-code of g0x10(which is letting it move in x direction by 10mm), but the actual movement is rather like 7 or 8mm.
    What am i supposed to do to have the right scaling?

    Thanks

    You need to set the scale to the correct value for your machine or figure out if it is loosing steps.
