lot change this… when the ruffing bit is done and goes back to X/Y zero or the corner of my work it is off by 1/8 inch to the left or X-

You’re most likely moving the carriage slightly. This is the same problem I had while changing the bits. Check out this video of how to lock your motors to help eliminate this problem…

Either your work piece is moving or you are loosing steps somewhere. Maybe you are pushing the machine to hard.
