Thanks to all who replied to my last post. Still having a difficult time. Got the fonts worked out, but having a problem with the lines of text don't come out straight. The lines seem to waver in both "X" & "Y" axis. Have adjusted the spindle speed & feedrate to optimum, but the lines of text are still crooked, they are drifting randomly. Could it be slack in these axis ballscrews? Any and ALL suggestions welcome. Thanks again to everyone. I'll be awaiting your replies.
