Same behavior when oriented on the other axis:

 

Note the difference between the first and second layers, show by the red arrows. 

Background on PC/LinuxCNC setup: We bought an ASRock q1900b-itx to install. When I retrofit the router to use LinuxCNC via this board, it kept giving latency errors. Next to our router, we have a LinuxCNC mill that uses a different computer (not sure the model on that, but same LinuxCNC version). It's never had latency problems and the mill has always worked, so I switched over to that computer and set up the router and keep getting these same skipping issues (again, issues that are not present on the mill that uses the same computer). The router itself has never had this kind of issue on the old RichAuto controller, so it just started having this problem when I set it up with LinuxCNC (started about a week ago). We use this router all the time, it's not like it was sitting in the shop unused for a long time before setting up.

What voltage is the power supply?
Try speed at 200 and 100.

The power supply powering the drivers is 24 V. Note that when I set it up for LinuxCNC, I added a 5V power supply (for the breakout board) that just pulled off/shares the A/C leads going into the 24V supply.

Will try those speeds.

You set up a new system with LinuxCNC 2.5?

I guess a Breakout board/parallel port/cabling issue is possible as well

This is a fairly drastic solution but using a 48 volt power supply will more than double torque (but you would need to replace the drivers with a DM542 or similar). That will certainly fix any missing steps.

I don't know why these Chinese machines only use 24v. We are in the process of retrofitting a 2400mm x 1200mm plasma table with rack and pinion drives and a 24 volt power supply.  We are replacing the motors of unknown origin with quality ones, adding 5:1 planetary gearboxes and using Lam Technologies Stepper drivers with a 60 volt AC power supply. We use a Mesa 7i76e. We expect rapids to increase from 5 m/min to 25 m/min or higher.

I believe both computers were bought and LinuxCNC installed at the same time, the ASRock was not used until we tried to set up the router. The mill has been running LinuxCNC for a long time.
