Does Cnc Backlash Compensation Really Work?

You should try the screw maping function in mach3.

Hey- Now that's an interesting comment. I do recall having a high end College Reflector telescope w/ a declination worm gear. It had a software routine for screw mapping too if I recall. 25 years ago but that really rang a bell. Thanks. I'll investigate this for the hobby Mill on Mach3. For the Centroid 30taper - I've not even looked into what Centroid CNC v11 has. Thanks for the note.

Rick Sparber just put out a paper on his experience with screw mapping in Mach3. Thee article is under item 13 Computer numerical control. http://rick.sparber.org/ma.htm
