missing steps in jog mode but not when carving

Weird problem for all you experts out there.
When I do very small incremental movements to set my zero point my machine seems to lose steps. ie. If I set zero, then home the machine, then go back to zero it's in a slightly different spot.
BUT. it doesn't miss steps at any other point and will zero to the exact same point everytime? I'm doing very detailed topographic maps with heaps of small steps and it carves perfectly. Swapping out tools, it returns to the zero point perfectly and holds accuracy between tools.
So when I'm setting zero, I have to guess the distance, set zero, home the machine, return to zero. Guess the distance, repeat. Once it's set, it's perfect.
Any thoughts? could it be a software rather than hardware problem?
I've been using UGS connected through the usb on the tft
