Yes I removed the video as I presumed you had watched it
What it showed was the motion was smooth and controllable in Velocity mode, the biggest issue being the detents in the MPG making it hard to keep a very consistent slow speed if you were wanting to use it for actual machining on a regular basis. Taking the detents out and replacing with a small amount of constant friction would solve that. I dont need to do that personally as I only use for positioning and edge finding and find MDI much quicker and better for quick machining if needed.
