What is the thickness of the metal, and what type of metal did you use?
What is the brand name of your plasma cutter X-Y table?
What is the brand name and model number of your plasma cutter?
How do you like the user interface of the plasma cutter X-Y table software program?
Does the user interface allow you to tweak the variables in the equations that run the X-Y table?
What computer (Mac of PC) are you using to control the X-Y table?
What interface bus connects your computer to the plasma X-Y table controller?

Look a little closer.
