    Very simple: your axes are not properly calibrated.
    Or you have mixed the units (cm & inches) up somehow.

    What tool diameter did you specify?I don't now the machine or the software but if the possibility is there for the computer or the controller to select the correct tool compensation,was the correct selection made?
