If you are using stepper motors it sounds like you are loosing steps on your z axis, check for binding or something that is keeping it from running free.

Re: Edges being cut but nothing else

Where are you setting Z-0 in PVC, top or bottom? Mach will only do as it's told in your g code. I have never seen Vectric's PVC, or aspire get it wrong, unless it was the inputs I gave it.

Re: Toolpath

If none of the above work, try turning your acceleration and speed down in motor tuning, after building my own cnc I can sympathize with your frustration, but in my case it was just a case of getting the accel and speed right for my machine.
