I have a prototrak slx1630 that cuts great in x or z but not when working together like when cutting an arc, any ideas why.

Check mechanical backlash in each axis, check axis belt tensions.
Use round nose tool tip.

Thanks for the reply.

I checked the backlash and reset its bang on, checked axis belt tension and the tool that always worked on my older lathe before this one is a ccgt polished tip with .4mm rad.
