Uh, this may sound stupid but, what is the "calibrate tool". I thought that was my tape measure and my micrometer. Is there some kind of wizard? Where?
Graham, thanks for the reply- I'll double check my 7.3 but I think it's pretty darn close. FYI- by playing around with the steps per unit manually I have observed the following
G1 X1.000 - The X-axis actually mics out at around .978 - using the same Steps per setting I'll type
G1 X5.000 - The axis axis will move to 5.25 .
DAMN this is weird? It makes no sense to me that it would be under @ 1.0 and over @ 5.0- WTH??
I start out being too low on Steps per unit and somewhere in the 5" of Travel I "catch up" and overtake and end up having "gained steps". If I was just gaining or just losing I would understand but I am doing both in the same moevement. How?, Why? Help!
Thanks, Sid
