General Mach Discussion / Re: Z-Axis Repeatability: Small Changes

In reviewing Part 3 of the Tutorial on YouTube, I saw a configuration for extending the pulse duration. The video explains that that older controllers might have problems with reversing the direction a lot, as I do in Z axis (making a PCB). The video explains that 99% of users don't need anything other than a "0" entry. Does anyone think this will help?
I think you need to try changing the value and see if it improves the situation.
(Checking my set-up I use 2 for step pulse width).
Is your Z axis stepper motor getting hot (approx. 60 deg.C) or is it running cold ??
