In the machine i set the taper cut settings as follows

cutting mode 10
wire guide 0
program plane 0
thickness 20
support distance 0
lower giude 10

i set my top guide at .2 above the highest point of job 22 but when i cut the profile the taper seems about 0.5mm from top to bottom instaed of the 1.05 it should be can anyone please tell me what am doing wrong
