The problem is that if I have a random error of +/- .003 on small
moves when that is compounded over inches it will make the whole
setup useless. Radius cutting in metal will require many slow, small,
hard(mechanical resistance wise) moves. Thats just what I am having
a problem with slow, small moves. I don't expect to keep that kind
of accuracy over any real distance but just about any machine tool
should be able to keep it over a straight line for a short distance
after the gear train is preloaded for backlash/slop etc.

Thanks for the deadzone suggestion. See my other post. Freqmod
seems to have helped my problem. I am going to try more computer.

thanks again,
