My bad, I was thinking about taking the backlash out on the initial move before cutting from a homed position.
Maybe thie will help....
Turn a diameter down using backlash compensation such that you use the equivalent number of moves  and see how
all turns out relative to desired finished diameter. That will give you idea of how much you should leave so you could
manualy  add a few lines of code for tweaking the profile down to size.

BTW, it doesn't take much on a taper to end up having the tapered end go deeper  or extend out when put into
into the recieving piece.

Hmm......no comment on the SS backlash
I will say this, your machining will only be as good as your lathe system.

Yup, I do have confirmation of backlash working in the SS, I too suspect it wont be long before thats relased, I know for a fact it is written and seems to work OK..

I made the draing a little large in both X and Z extents, so that the tool will move farther positive in both axes, thereby taking up the axis backlash when it moves "back" to the spot where it actually will cut.

The roughing toolpath looks good, but when I set up a Fine path with the following parameters, it again tries to take a chunk out of the piece:
Clearance: 0
Final Pass: 0.001
PerPass: 0.005
Tolerance: 0.01

It also looks like the fine path does not cut all the way to teh profile.

What am I doing wrong?

PS I see thatthe Zoom Out and Zoom IN in the menu pulldown are backwards

...and even stranger, when I post and open the tAP file in Mach3Turn, it appears as if the Roughing path is in Diameter mode, while the Fine Path is in radius Mode!

Try grabbing the yellow arrow and draggin it to the left to indicate a different start location..
