Re: machine inaccuracies fixed by software compensation

The original post made a good point. There are a lot of possible
sources of errors in a CNC milling machine. The lead screw could be
off, tables not square, slides worn... What is need is a way to enter
a machine compensation table into EMC (sort of like cutter
compensation) and have it compensate for the inaccuracies based on
the current X-Y-Z coordinates.

I read about this in an article in American Machinest. Some high end
controllers are already doing this.
