How to calc the steps per unit can be found in the Mach Manual, also in member docs there is a spread sheet that will do it for you, and there are few others in there I believe.
But you can also use the Calibrate axis feature of Mach to do it for you.
Suggest you just start by reducing whatever your velocity and accel settings are in half to start and see how it goes. Raise the velocity until you start to skip and then reduce by 30 %, then start increasing the accel value and reduce accordingly.
