I must say I'm very impressed! I have followed your building also albeit it was a few months I wasn't in here.

Regarding the merlin idea, I have a few RC choppers but no planes. It would be awesome to have such a motor in a RC Spitfire or Messerscmitt.

On the settings page, what have you set the CV feedrate and CV distance to? And are they both active, that is green light?

What is all the square push buttons? Is it duplication of the buttons on Mach3?

I'm just a lurker. I don't have any machine to try it on. But it looks very good Gerry  Thank you very much for all the time you have laid down in this screen and all the other screens!

Does the banding consist of only one line or is it several lines next to each other? Wonder if the result would be the same if you applied some force to your x and y axes like a spring or a wire running over a wheel and a weight in the end of the wire so that a force is applied to the axes. Then any backlash would be ruled out completely.

I would put some grease or oil at the machined surface which is covered by the rails. If some of the machined surface is not covered by the rails I would have carefully covered the "under rails area" with masking tape and painted the remainder  of the machined area.
