    Angry inconsistent toolpaths

    I have a very small hobby cnc machine. it will not run consistent parts. Please check the pictures I have attached. I have my toolpath generated to cut a wagon wheel - must be correct b/c I was able to cut one perfectly. But while trying to cut a second or third, the machine started following a path of it's own choosing.

    I start in Corel Draw, then to Vectric Cut 2D, then to Mach3. I am quite certain it is not a physical, mechanical problem. Does anyone know if there is a setting in Mach3 (or any of these programs) that I may be overlooking that could cause this?
