Whoever needs this information it will save you hours of headaches.
If your X and Y axis travel close to to 1" but your Z axis moves about 5-6" instead of 1" check the settings for $100, $101 and $102.
Pre-NOV 2021 xcarve:
$100=40.000
$101=40.000
$102=188.947
Post-NOV 2021 xcarve:
$100=26.660
$101=26.660
$102=49.909
If your X and Y are marginally out of perfect distance check the belt tension and follow up with general maintenance of the machine and recalibrate.
Hope this helps someone!
