Re: Climb Milling

Ron,

It would only be bogus if you were trying to compensate for gross
amounts of backlash. I'd say, anything over .001" or so on a mill,
and you've got a problem beyond software's ability to effectively
compensate for.

All commercial controllers have the backlash compensation feature.
They wouldn't have the feature if it was bogus.

thanks,

Doug
