Joe; Three parts to this:
Part 1: I initially had a problem with the scaling; eventually I figured that out. Q: Is it consistently off? What I did for my Sieg KX1-NU machine, is that I put a dial indicator on each axis; move the axis 10mm one way, and see if it works. Then move it back, then forward again. I found that my X axis was absolutely fine, my Y axis needed backlash compensation (a small amount). The fact that my machine was consistent with regards to what I commanded it to do, and what the dial indicator said, makes me feel confident with it. Part 2: I read somewhere that "sherline" mode helped solve some peoples' problems when cutting circles with some drivers; Not sure about the details, but it revolved somewhere around slow micro steps getting lost. Can someone else chime in here? Part 3: I initially set the latency too high on my computer; I'd get an error message on the "axis" display screen, bottom right corner; I'd expect that if your (great) computer was having issues, you'd see a message there, too. Part 4: Dumb question - is tool diameter compensation on or off? if on, is the diameter entered correctly?? Good luck, and please tell us what you find.
