Digitized part machines is 3mm smaller overall than scanned part.

Title states it. Pictures attached. The probe size was input in inches though a 6mm and I used a 6mm end mill. Just curious why or if a setting is incorrect for steps counted in the wizard which it may very well be I haven’t found in the manual yet how to calibrate exactly I kept changing the wizard until an inch looked like an inch with a pencil in the collet drawing on paper. Steps were 10,500 if I recall while my drivers are set to 2000. I come from the Mach 3 world where it’s all cut and dry for beginners and you measure the travel, input it and their software calibrates the steppers for me. Here I apparently have to step up my understanding and do it by trial and error.

In your previous posts on digitizing, your probe does not appear to be a 6mm ball. It looks more like a 3 or 4mm cylinder. You have to cut with the same thing you digitized with.

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

You can configure your turns per inch by trial and error, or you can follow the procedure Marty and Keith have posted many times. 10500 is a very strange number.

Perhaps you will be better suited to take a few steps back and just try some basics. Machine a circle and see if it is round, measure it, etc. Then a square, checking as well, etc... Jumping into part digitizing is likely not the best way to troubleshoot and verify operation of a new machine and a new operator.
