If that's really true, then if you did this 10-11 times, then the machine would be 1mm out of position.
It does stack up like that. You can see it in the circles I am cutting. One side has bigger flat spot than the other and often the start point is not the finish point. Not always though. I have adjusted alot of it out but still get flat spots and thats the only thing I can't get rid of. If I set backlash .05 the lesser reading then only going the other way seems to cause a problem. I am clueless.
Could be due to a number things.
One needs to know the cause of the backlash and that can only be done by trying to isolate each mechanical component
in a very meticulous way to find the causes. Note that there is no such thing as "zero" backlash and there is no substitute
for quality components.

The machine seems high quality. I wonder if it could be a combination of things. I am having a hard time trying to figure out what to look at specifically and it what order.
This is the machineI'll take any pointers I can get.
Thanks
