My A and B axis is off by 1 degree and my XYZ is probably off too though I haven't checked yet. How do I tune in my axis in mach4? My XYZ axis uses lead screws that are M8 x 1.25 just in case someone is wondering. A and B are geared at a 8:1 reduction.

Review DTG vidieos he explains it it one of his ox builds
No ball screws then AFAIK mach4 is not to good yet on backlash
But use a jo block and a dti to measure your movement.
There is a good right up in the Mach 3 manual , m4 does not have the auto tune though
It is explained in the m4 manual as well it's just a simple maths problem

Take a look at the formula i use in the video for fine tuning my x axis, you will need to be at about 10 min mark.

It's the shorthand used in morse code for best wishes =73 and if you were talking to a YL ( young lady ) love and kisses = 88
But by ek you have made me feel very old try 1947 and 49 years married with a daughter at 47 plus grand kids
As I was into ham radio you pick up on the numbers
Sorry for the OT
Hope you get it all sorted soon and part made

One of the design decisions in Mach4 was to push backlash support into the plug-in. The Mach4 core has no concept of backlash except to provide a place in the motor configuration screen to enter the value. Check with your motion device manufacturer to see if they support backlash compensation.
