All debounce does is allow more time to see a steady input signal,  it is in milli seconds.

Are you saying it still makes ovals or asking if anyone has tested it? Have you tried it?

You can bend a piece of wire and put it in the spindle. Then do an auto tool touch off in the 4 posotions and compare DRO values. I'd buy a dial indicator at the least, but have tramed dril press tables with the wire trick. Not the best IMHO, but you ask for cheap.

Some cameras have a port for an external trigger I think. I have seen the switches torn into and wired, that works I know. Vmax is right about the solenoid too.

Also, shuttle accel on the general config page effects the way your backlash acts. Try setting it to .005-.01.

Two speeds are set up allready. To do a slow jog, just push the arrow keys, to do a rapid, hold down shift and the arrow keys. You can change the slow rate by pressing the tab button adjust the value, press tab again to hide the MPG screen.

Have you checked all of your settings? Did you save a copy of your XML?
