Ive been fighting with my shapeoko 5 for years now. Ive narrowed down the the problem to the Z axis. Ive set the z manually and using a bit zero. When i tell the machine to go to z+6mm it does it perfectly. But when it goes to cutting it thinks z0 is abour 5mm below the original zero that it was…

Z axis is always wrong

You will want to keep feeds and speeds within what the machine can reliably cut:
