Hi. I built my CNC router a while ago using a kit from Probotix (180 step motors). I calibrated the motors and if i program a g-code going in X or Y independently everything works perfectly. However, if i want to engrave a picture on wood or mill a small model car, then I loose precision in either the X, Y or Z. I noticed that this happens when the router moves diagonally using X-Y, or X-Z, or Y-Z displacement. I tried reducing the accelerations but that didnt work.

Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?

Thanks

So it works fine when only one axis is moving, but you lose steps when two or more axes are asked to move?
I would check the motor power supply. It is possible it cannot handle the load of two motors moving together.
