CNC Machine Skipping Steps Symptom

Skipping steps, or losing position, is confirmed when the machine fails to complete the commanded travel distance, resulting in shifted geometry, misaligned cuts, or a stair-stepping effect on the workpiece. To verify, compare the actual physical position of the tool after a job against the programmed coordinates in the controller software.
