I would try to eliminate as much backlash as possible by mechanical means. Sounds like you have about .022 to me and that is quite a bit.  :(  Even with backlash comp. set up, a tool can pull and push the work. You could go into Config, backlash and set the values for each axis there. I would try starting with a backlash speed of 200% and then go to Config., General config, center top and set shuttle accel to .05 seconds.

Let us know how this does,
